Cheers to senior softball pitcher Lilli Backes for surpassing 600 strikeouts in her career and pitching a perfect game against Mount de Sales last weekend. Backes is now less than 90 strikeouts away from setting a new school record for strikeouts.

Cheers to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Who doesn’t love a nice, yummy pb&j with the crust cut off? Apologies to those who have peanut allergies.

Cheers to the United States of America for earning the most medals in this year’s Olympics. China placed second by only one medal. 

Cheers to only 137 days left until Christmas. Soon we’ll all be drinking eggnog and singing carols under the mistletoe. 

Cheers to surviving the first week of school. Congratulations to everyone who has gone this long without being quarantined. Our deepest sympathies to those joining us via Zoom. 

Cheers to The Prowler staff being back in the newsroom. We are excited to start the year with 14 returning journalists and 12 new members.
