"The exterior is still a nice monument to remember buildings [involved in] water history," Hoey said. "We all drink lots of water, and it's such an important resource that we kind of take for granted nowadays."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_2024-1200x800.jpg)
Girls basketball slips on Senior Night against Boston Latin
February 10, 2021
In a close match against the Boston-Latin Wolfpack, the Wayland Warriors fell short-handed in a final score of 41-36. Despite the loss, the Warriors were able to celebrate their annual “Coaches vs Cancer” game, wearing their warm-up shirts dedicated to former WHS guidance counselor and coach Jim Griffin, who passed away in 2012 of pancreatic cancer. They also celebrated the annual Senior Night, decorating the field house with festive balloons and homemade posters in light of the occasion.
Head coach Amanda Rukstalis poses with seniors Meredith Prince, Ella L'Esperance, Abby Gavron and manager Maddie Yaffe in celebration of Senior Night. Unlike the typical senior night, parents were unable to attend the occasion due to COVID-19 regulations. Players and families missed out on the usual rose exchange and celebration at the end of the game.
