Marlow High School art student Alyssa Cox had a key role in planning the Welcome to Marlow Mural on Main Street According to MHS art teacher Arlyn Brantley, Cox has an eye for detail which is why he gave her the job of drawing out the letters for the mural. “She naturally understands proportions and small details,” Brantley said, which is why she has excelled in my art class.” Cox only began drawing a couple years ago, and somewhat stumbled upon her talent which she has recently begun to gain credit for. Brantley has enjoyed watching Cox’s talents grow and mature over the years he has had her in class.
Senior Seth Young is nailing down his excitement for Stagecraft. This school year is the first year Young has been a member of Stagecraft. “I have learned the true meaning of ‘all hands on deck’,” Young said. “If one person does not do their job, then the entire project won’t work.” With a hammer in hand and a passion for creating, Seth Young is ready to build a better future at Marlow High School.

As the first nine weeks come to an end, so do Marlow High School first semester sports. This means basketball is shifting into high gear for their upcoming season. Juniors Will Coffman and Dawson Huddleston shared their thoughts on the upcoming season and how it will play out. “I think this season will be a lot of fun,” Coffman said. “Some of the boys go to the gym and work.” Huddleston agreed with Coffman on the season, but also mentioned how excited he was to have new players. “Every year we have a new
team and goals,” Huddleston said. “I’m and excited to see what the goal will be for this year and how we’ll work to get it done.” Junior Brock Harris said he thinks they have a chance to play very well during the season. “We all play really well together,” Harris said. “It could really help us get deep into the playoffs.” Senior Miles Ellis reminisced his last four years while also being hopeful for his last season to be his best yet. “I love being able to look back and see how far we’ve all came as a team,” Ellis said. “I’m looking forward to my last season.” The girls team has had practices mainly used for conditioning needed to get prepared for the
season. As a first time player, Junior Carlee Clark explained how the girls have made it very enjoyable so far. “I appreciate the atmosphere the girls create,” Clark said. “Everyone is supportive and encouraging.” Senior Hannah Wade discussed the team’s heart for success and their willingness to step up and put effort into anything that is needed. “We lost three role players on our team, but I believe we have people who will step up,” Wade said. Both teams look forard to the new season.

MHS senior finds motivation through faith and family Jackson Miller Writer
Finding herself through faith on and off the field, Senior Hannah Wade finds her strength through her love of God and the enjoyment of sports. Wade is involved in varsity basketball and Fellowship of Christian Athletes and softball where she had the opportunity to play in the softball district tournament. As a member of FCA, she also aspires to be a great leader to her teammates and in her spiritual life as well. Sophomore Mia Meshell, who has played softball and basketball with Wade, has spent much time with her and knows the characteristics she embodies. “Hannah is a great leader who impacts our team.” Meshell said. “She strives to not only make us better basketball players, but makes us remember who we are playing for.”
Wade says that her greatest moment this year was winning the district tournament in softball. “We worked very hard this year and it was a very rewarding thing to experience in the end.” Wade also gains much of her support from her family, including her five sisters. One of those five sisters is sophomore, Lauren Wade, who views Hannah as one of her biggest role models. “I think Hannah is a very strong and spiritual leader and despite how much we fight, I still look up to her very much.” Lauren said. Wade adds that she could not do the things she does without the strong support system that she has from her team and her coaches. Wade is also a very religious person who finds inspiration through her MHS assistant softball coach, Kathy Wilson. “Coach Wilson is a godly leader who helps everyone on and off the field, and she has made my

faith grow bigger.” Wade said. Another person who can vouch for Wade’s sportsmanship is Terri Reimer, the MHS girls’ basketball coach. “Hannah is the foundation of the team culture that we have built over the last three years.” Reimer said. “She is a hard worker, competitive, and a good teammate.” Although Wade is indecisive about what college she wishes to attend after high school, she states that she wants to get a scholarship for basketball and later come back and coach for Marlow.
