Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
As fall sports are wrapping up, it is time for our annual Powder Tuff volleyball tournament. A fun and competitive event, Powder Tuff gives guys a break from their organized sports teams.
Due to playoffs, many of the football players were not able to participate in the Powder Tuff event. In order to accommodate all students, the date of the games was changed to Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. The change of date gives all boys participating in football playoffs the opportunity to play, pending if they lose the Nov. 9 game against the Southridge Skyhawks.
“Changing the date is great because most of the teams had football players on them,” Alec Gans, senior,said.
Every year, the annual Powder Tuff teems with creative team names, outfits and teams.
