On March 11th, Our Trojan’s took a sad lose against the Laney Buccaneers. It was a challenging game, Laney took an early lead by scoring two runs in the top of the second inning. West struggled to respond and failed to score throughout the game. Laney continued to dominate, adding to their lead in the top of the third inning and maintaining their momentum for the remainder of the game. Laney finished with an impressive final score of thirteen, while west was unable to put any runs on the board. Despite the teams struggles, Sophomore Bryce Thompson managed to secure the only hit for west. Bryce went one for one with a walk showing some individual success in a though game. The main flaw for west was the performance of the pitchers. Three pitchers entered the game throwing a collective total of one-hundred and fifty eight pitchers, giving up ten walks, and allowing eleven earned runs. This was a significant factor in the outcome of the game. With hopes for their next game, they will come to be better and stronger.

Photography was what interested her to become a part of the West Wind. Barron’s interests have not parted far from last year. Her love for photography has grown, and she enjoys taking pictures at sports events and wildlife.
