Lambert and Reiff were editing their swim recap for Cougar Roundup. “[KUGR] is such a great environment for creativity but also to form amazing friends,” Lambert said. “KUGR has become like a home for me and I feel like I’ve gotten super close with so many other members.”](https://smnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ejohnson_KUGR_7-900x600.jpg)
These teachers were selected by the football captains this week to wear their jerseys. The players chose these teachers as a
way of honoring them for being special people in their lives. Here’s what the players had to say about the teachers.
Todd Boren (Alex Allen #1): “Coach Boren is one of the most supportive teachers at NW. He is someone I could always talk to about anything. He’s also the coolest teacher I’ve had.”
Tina Griggs (Trevor Robinson #57): “I had Mrs. Griggs last year for U.S. History and Law this year. She always made class fun and interesting.”
Deborah Jenkins (John Jacobs #90): “I have had Mrs. Jenkins for Job Club all four years. She is cool, and we get along really well.”
Amy Walker (David Dougherty #51): “I had Mrs. Walker for IB Psych class. She always gives awesome advice no matter what the topic. She is extremely nice, and I am fortunate to be her labby this year.”

This was Cook’s last time running down the field with his teammates. “When you’re waving [the flag] in the air, you’re just thinking about getting hype,” Cook said. “Then when you run out with the team behind
you, the nerves and everything go away.”](https://smnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/dmitchell_vfb300_11.8_2-900x448.jpg)
