![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)

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.
