What sports do you play for Westwood ? Basketball and I used to run Cross Country What is your best memory you have had playing for the Warriors? Last year when we played Stony Point, we were down by one. Their point guard was dribbling the ball and I stole it, was off balance and missed the shot, but my teammates were there quickly, grabbed the rebound and made the put back giving us the win with 1 second left. What is the best thing about being a Warrior Athlete? Compared to other schools, Westwood is just different. We aren't the most athletic, but we win smarter and that helps us in a variety of fields not just the court. What is your favorite thing about Westwood High School? Probably the community. It's a very supportive community whether it is athletics or academics. You never feel alone, there is always someone there to support you. |

Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
