![MORE THAN A GAME. With two diving catches in the outfield, the Lions showed up defensively, aiding in their victory over the Pacers. One catch was made by Atwood, and the other by McGraw. Throughout the game, the Lions knew that it wasn’t just about their victory today. “I think [playing for cancer] makes it bigger than just a game,” McGraw said. “Knowing that you have a bigger impact in this world than just who you are as one person.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/I70A1454-1-1200x800.jpg)

The students brought a variety of paints and mixed their own custom colors. “Instead of brushstrokes, we’re doing more dabbing, because it gives [a] better impression of tree foliage, rather than looking like actual brush strokes, because if we’re painting trees, we need it to look like trees,” Crawford said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/IMG_2397-1200x900.jpg)

Rapper Lil’ Yachty Released the album “Teenage Emotions” May 2017.
Whenever your teenage emotions start acting up, listen to “Teenage Emotions” by Lil Yachty. “Teenage Emotions” was released May 26, 2017 by Quality Control music.
Lil Yachty is an American rapper. His album has guest appearances from Diplo, Evander Griim, Grace, Migos, Stefflon Don and YG.
The album was number five on the US Billboard 200. The hit song “PeekaBoo,” featuring rap group, Migos, propelled the album into the mainstream.
This album was great, especially the songs featuring people like Migos and YG. Overall, Lil Yachty did an amazing job on this album because he’s only 20 years old and has been in the music business since he was only 18, which a lot of teens would not be able to do.
The standout songs on the album are “Peek a Boo” feat. Migos, “All Around Me” feat. YG and Kamaiyah, or “Priorities” because they both have a good beat with interesting lyrics.
Some of his songs on this album were very repetitive, such as “Harley,” but overall, the album gives a message or something that really means something to him in each song.
Some of his best lyrics come in songs like “Been Through A Lot,” when Lil Yachty raps, “Teachers said I wouldn’t be nada but now my momma Prada.”
This album is for anyone who likes rap style music, or to people who are looking for a song that says a story or a message in a fun and sometimes funny way.
