![Senior Malik Hampton has played varsity football at Lafayette since he was a sophomore. His senior season, Hampton ended with 65 tackles, two interceptions, 86 total yards and an average of 14.4 receiving. “Our first jamboree [sophomore year] was at Parkway North and we were playing against Hazelwood Central and it was the last play of the game for us on defense. I shot through this hole and tackled a guy in the backfield along with JJ Reese, who was a senior at the time,” Hampton said. “That’s really when the team and everyone embraced me and saw this kid can play. I felt in that moment I can do this, I can play with the older guys now. My instincts to make that play showed that no matter how big or strong or fast I am, I can play just based off my instincts and knowledge for football. Hampton will be continuing his football career at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) level. “I’m very focused and driven on what I want to accomplish, especially along the lines of what I want to do with football in my life. I just want people to know that I try not to let things get to me and I don’t show that at school but I’m very focused and driven in what I want to do with football moving forward,” Hampton said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/C045B250-A21D-4354-B1F1-B2E4556B7FDF.jpg)
![Class of 2021 graduate Sophie Yereshchenko stands with her family at a rally in St. Charles on March 5, 2022 in support of their family and friends in Ukraine. Fox News and NBC were there and they asked us for interviews and I think it was just too emotional. We couldn’t get through really any conversation without crying and we were all so worried and continue to worry about the safety of our friends and family. I’m more sad than I was when I declined the [Fox News and NBC] interviews but I’m really angry. I’m angry that this is happening and I’m at a point where I’ll do anything to make it better. I think part of that is just speaking up and making everyone around the world aware of what’s going on, asking our government to be doing a little bit more, Yereshchenko said.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/IMG-2644-e1646888764841-900x600.jpg)
![Language arts teacher Jenny Ingram stands in her classroom holding her Good Vibes Only sign. Ingram places emphasis on creating a positive environment in her classes. In June 2021, Ingram learned that her Breast Cancer resurfaced as Stage Four. For me, [a stage four diagnosis] is like a chronic illness, its not a death sentence. Ive read that stage four breast cancer can wax and wane. I may get to a point where theres no evidence of disease, the medication Im taking is effective and you dont see lesions in the bones or tumors, it could get to that. But youre never cured. You always have to be monitoring it, she said. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/IMG_0885-1-900x600.jpg)
