![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)
Post Malone music Review
Post Malone dropped his new album “Beer Bongs and Bentleys” on April 27, 2018 and it’s a good time to take a look at just how great some of those songs are. Over a month since it’s release his song Better Now held the number one spot on Spotify’s Global Top 50 playlist.
“Better Now” is a song about reminiscing on better days, specifically a past relationship. Malone combines a strong beat with short but meaningful lyrics to create a powerful song. Besides the fact that his lyrics carry his emotions well, you can also forget the lyrics. Following the rhythm and beat of the song is just as good. The song is bound to make you want to sing along.
“Psycho” is also on the Top 50 list sitting at number 15. This song features Ty Dolla $ign and references his success in life and how money it has brought to him. This song, compared to the previously mentioned one, is a bit more mellow. The bass doesn’t hit as hard and the beat is slower. Even so, psycho proves to also be a great song. While it could be seen as Malone flaunting his cash, it is really just a song celebrating how far he has come. The song is fun and the flow is smooth.
Malone has once again proven his ability to write meaningful but also enjoyable songs. He has secured multiple spots on the Top 50 list with just this one album and he’s sure to do it again on his next. If you’re into rap at all, you have to check out “Beer Bongs and Bentleys”.
