E-sports is becoming a significant extracurricular activity in Moses Lake, Washington, particularly through the Ephrata Tigers and Wahluke Warriors teams. Head Coach Scott Sandberg of the Ephrata Tigers highlighted the excitement students feel when participating in organized gaming. The teams compete in various games throughout the year, including Valorant, Rocket League, and Super Smash Bros, with the Tigers achieving notable success, including state championships in 2024.
