HILLSDALE TAKES SECOND OVERALL IN EMPIRE SPRING LEAGUE; TAKES TOP SPOT IN PREMIERE LEAGUE; RILEY HANSON WINS TOP ATTORNEY AWARD

This past weekend, Hillsdale took second overall in the Empire Spring League (after finishing first overall in the Premiere League). The final matchup between Hillsdale and Modern Brain was determined after the top 8 teams competed in a single elimination bracket-style format. The final 8 teams consisted of the top 6 teams from the Premiere League (26-team field,) and the top two teams from the Sapphire League (64-team field). Hillsdale earned the spot in the final 8 after taking the top spot in the Premiere League, which featured some of the country's top teams. Heading into the final against a very tough Modern Brain team, Hillsdale had amassed a 26.5-1.5 record after it swept all 16 ballots in the quarters and semis.

The case, Andy Hanks v. CrownFuel Beverages involved a terrorist conspiracy theorist who poisoned energy drinks with home-grown botulism. Andy Hanks, whose son Ty died of botulism poisoning after consuming a contaminated energy drink, sued CrownFuel beverages for negligence for designing a resealable aluminum bottle (with no visible seal to indicate tampering) that provided the perfect anaerobic environment for the botulism to grow. 

Congratulation to senior Riley Hanson for winning a top attorney award!
