n this photoshoot, Molly Trachta ‘23 and I decided to create

Iseveral artistic portraits. We took inspiration from the simplicity of nature, the simplicity of flowers. We made use of floral aspects, as a last expression of nature’s color before heading into the bleaker, colder seasons. We created bright images to keep these colors alive and refreshed as winter settles in.

Football

On the Friday October 1, the football team hosted the Dowling Catholic Maroons for a rematch of last year’s upset. The Dragons could not pull off the upset this time, as Dowling notched a decisive 38-3 win. Safety Jack Cihota ‘23 led the team in tackles (15) in an otherwise rough statistical night. Despite a difficult night, the team has continued to work hard and add to their stats. Quarterback Adrian Broadus ‘24 is the team leader in passing yards with 718 so far this season. A bright start to the season was quickly diminished as the Dragons have had to adapt to several key season-ending injuries. Resilient nonetheless, the team has still put multiple wins on the board since.
