![In previous years, New England ski mountains have left eager skiers unsatisfied because of the sub-par and icy conditions on the slopes. Despite this situation, veteran skiers, and WHS sophomores Tobias Kyleber, Mathew Moscoffian and Colin Moleux provide some insight on why some mountains have a higher level quality than others, in their eyes. “[Two of my favorite mountains in New England] are Mount Stow and Mount Cannon,” Moscoffian said. “These mountains are better because they have the best quality of snow and have the most trails open, usually.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Untitled-design-6-1200x800.png)

On Friday, Feb. 7, the Wayland girls varsity basketball team played Newton South High School for its 11th annual Coches vs Cancer game. After a long game, the Warriors lost with a score of 31 to 46. The game is hosted each year in order to honor the late Jim Griffin and to raise money towards the American Cancer Society. Griffin was a coach for the girls basketball team for many years before he ultimately passed away from cancer. The game serves as a way to show Griffin respect, honor his legacy and bring awareness to the fight against cancer. The game also serves to honor people in the Wayland community who have either battled cancer or know someone who has. Attendees were able to add the names of people who have lost their battle to cancer to a wall called the “Honor Wall.”
