![Post-game, senior Winston Gao attempts to run away from junior Agi Kukudala. On April 24, the varsity boys tennis team won their final game of the season against Oakville with a score 9-0. “[Kukudala] is a great teammate on varsity this year. [This team] is the best shot we have to go to state this year, so we're excited for that,” Gao said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/DSC3287-1200x798.jpg)
![Arms flying above water, sophomore Max Moore dribbles the ball away from his defender at the junior varsity water polo game against Parkway Central on April 22. Moore relied on his speed to move away from his defenders in the pool but focused on mindset and communication while leading his team. “My typical mindset during a difficult game is to try to stay calm to set an example for everyone so they don’t panic. [I also] think of ways to get us back in the game. I usually think about things that keep me happy if a game gets tough. It keeps me calm and [I can] play better,“ Moore said.](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/20240420-Q4209299-1200x800.jpg)
![“I’m a captain [of the Varsity Cheerleading team]. I think it's fun and I like leading. In practice, we stretch [with] everyone and then we make up quarter and timeout [routines] for the games. It's kind of sad [that it is my last year here], but at the same time I'm excited for [what comes after high school]. I like the pep rallies. [One piece of advice is that] you should always be kind because you never know what someone's going through. You don't want to look back at your high school years and be like, ‘Why did I do that?’ So make sure you think everything through. I want to go to college. I'm looking [forward to either going to] Arizona [for college], but also Mizzou. I want to do something [in the] medical [field], but I want to do something with kids as well. I’m kind of scared, [but I would] probably do pre-med, [and become] a [pediatrician]. I've always liked helping [others] and being around little kids. I feel like it would be really rewarding to help little kids, especially if they're hurt and to make them feel better.” - Marissa Thomasson, 12](https://pwestpathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_6783-1200x800.jpg)
