![At the bottom of the third inning, the Lions are still scoreless. Rowe stands at home plate, preparing to bat, while Vandenbrink stands off to the side as the next batter up. 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)

Maryland Nights
The leaves crunch beneath
My feet as I walk
Through the forest and
Feel every breath of the
Wind-
So cold,
It makes
Me want to freeze
To death.
The wind chimes;
Their death song vibrant
Shatter the wind-
So slowly; so delicately-
That I want to travel
Through the darkness of
The neverending forest
To find their haunting
Sound.
Yet, I don’t-
For I know what awaits
Me at the place
Where the darkness ends.
The legend we have eaten, slept,
And even dreamt.
