Juniors Rachel Brown and Gabby Rath sit outside of Jeff Chazen's room after being kicked out of their fifth hour AP Government class for donating Easy Mac to Team Wayland. "It was totally worth it because Wayland gave us good food and we still learned what we needed to know from the hall. I would do it again in a heartbeat," Brown said.

During a home game against Ladue, senior runningback Quentin Key gets 133 rushing yards. Key also scored one touchdown. “I felt good up until the second half and then it just got out of hand. We were down by a lot and it was frustrating because all of our summer work didn’t pay off. We had practice from six to eight in the morning for conditioning and weight training, then two days a week we would come back three hours later to have installation and repetition practice for two hours,” Key said.
