  • Pulling up for a shot, Suleyman Shah ’24 fires a three pointer toward the basket. Shah, one of the teams’ best outside shooters has been consistent from behind the arc all season, and has provided the Warriors with a steady hand from deep.

  • Commanding the court Thomas Burke ’24 looks to make a pass. Burke, who plays mostly guard and on the wings, looked into the paint to try to set up an easy layup or close-up jump shot for the Warriors.

  • Bowling over defenders Marquis Murray ’27 floats the ball into the net securing a bucket. Murray stormed onto the scene this year as a Freshman taking a Varsity spot in just his first year at Westwood.

  • Rising up over a Maverick defender Ryan Swanson ’24 drops in the ball for a bucket. Swanson, a team captain, led the Warriors down the court distrusting and scoring buckets, a huge contributor to Westwood’s stellar offensive night.

  • Attentive to the ball Ryan Swanson ’24 prepares to nab a rebound off of a missed shot. Swanson standing at six foot four commanded the rebound game for the Warriors taking away potential points from McNeil and giving Westwood more opportunities to score.

  • Scanning the court for an open teammate Sumner Holland ’26 prepares a chest pass to maneuver himself out of a defensive trap. Holland, a first year Varsity player confided in his teammates and distributed the ball around.

  • Shooting over a trio of defenders, Walker Hensley ’24 muscles his way for a bucket. Hensley came up strong for the basket out-reaching multiple defenders, and provided Westwood with a score.

Class of 2024 This is my second year working on Student Press, and I'm so excited to be part of the team. When I'm not at school, I enjoy playing guitar, hanging out with friends, and sleeping. I love to bake, especially when I should be doing homework or studying for a test. I also love hiking, camping, and taking pictures of nature.
