Storming across the turf, freshman Gretchen Teigen rushes past Southlake defenders. The game closed 18-6 with Prosper in the lead. It’s been super awesome getting to be apart of a team that has had so much success this season, Teigen said. I think we have all grown a lot as players, but especially as a team. We started the season as an underdog and are ending it as one of the top teams in the division, which has been a super cool experience.

Sitting atop a desk, three phones sport Wanda Vision lock screens created by Marvel studios. Wanda Vision is the first television show in Marvels Phase 4.

Walking the halls of Prosper High School, the four state-bound swimmers and two alternates are greeted by many students in a send-of. Shortly after, the swimmers make their way to their San Antonio-bound bus ride. Its been a really hard year because usually, at district, the top six go to region, but this year only the top four go to region. Our district is one of the fastest districts, so we really had a hard time getting out of district, heads swim coach Trey Sullivan said. The number one in each event goes to state, and the eight fastest times in the state of Texas get called up.
