With six fall sports at school varying from golf to marching band and everything in between, the Prowler wants to individually highlight each sport with a quote from a star player and recap of their various awards. Additionally, Journalism (Prowler) and Photojournalism (Trivium) are included for their awards because they compete under the same organization as fall sports (i.e. Virginia High School League).
