Westwood with a 130 to 30 lead over Chassell.

We'll get back into the questions in just a couple of seconds, but let's meet the students.

Let's start with Sydney Voldarski who is a sophomore from Chassel.

And Sydney for someone who's so young, you have rather interesting taste in music and that you like to listen to old psychedelic rock, don't you?

- Yeah.

Well, when I was young, obviously I grew up a lot around it, but I didn't really start taking interest till I was like around 13 and that's when I really started listening to it, but mainly just because that's what I kind of grew up with.

- Oh, okay.

Is there something in particular about the music that appeals to you or?

- It's just kinda mellow.

I like it.

It's really something to just kind of zone out to.

- Oh, okay.

Oliver Turpeinen, you are a freshman, and you and I, and many students who pass through here had the same dream and that you wanna go to space.

Why you?

- (clears throat) Ever since I was like really little, I've always been fascinated by the stars in the sky and space, and that's always been a dream of mine to just be able to go into space someday.

- Would you prefer Earth orbit, go to the moon, just right around the solar system?

- Yeah, Earth orbit.

(Jim laughs) - Well, I hope you do get the chance someday.

Now, Hayden Campbell, you are a senior and the team captain, and you said the teacher who's had the biggest impact on you is Mr. Ware.

You wanna explain why?

- Yeah.

Mr. Ware is a unique teacher at our school.

Yeah.

He kind of just be himself anytime of the day.

It's really cool to see that cause a lot of people end up having like anxiety and trying to not be themselves, be someone else.

He just kind of inspires me to just be myself rather than be someone else.

- And that's kind of cool.

Not many teachers who excel in that and I'm glad that not only your teacher, but your coach does the same thing for you as well.

And Paul Harmala, you are a senior and you say that your hero, the person to whom you're currently looking up is your dad.

You wanna tell me why?

- (clears throat) Mostly because it's the easy answer.

(audience laugh) I don't really have anybody else I can really think of off of the bat because my dad has always been my greatest person to me for many reasons, just everything.

A lot of the things I believe, and he's always been a caring person and I just kind of wanna try and role model myself after him and be better than him, of course, as well.

(Jim chuckles) - It sounds like you have a good dad though.

Okay.

Those are the Chassell Panthers.

Now, let's meet the Westwood Patriots.

Let's start with Grace Anderson.

And Grace, you say that the insanity of the past year and a half has taught you to become a more understanding person.

In what way?

- Like understand that everyone has different issues.

They have their own demons that they're dealing with.

So I just understand that somebody may not be in like the best mood or be nice to you every day because of that.

- You know, I've often thought that if there's anything good that comes out of 2020 and 2021, it might be that people have, they're a little more tolerant of people's moods, and it's just put the spotlight on things like mental health issues.

Yeah.

So maybe something good did come out of it, who knew?

Allie Grochowski, you are a junior.

And speaking of heroes who are family members, you said that your older sister is your hero, right?

- Yes, I did.

She is one of the most kindness and most passionate people I know, and she got a full ride to college and was the valedictorian of her class.

And I don't see why I wouldn't look up to her and I just wanna be as passionate about everything like she is.

- And have you and Chloe always had a really good relationship?

- Yes.

We've been like best friends for as long as I can remember.

- Oh, that is so sweet.

It's nice to have a sister like that, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

Maria Johnson, you are a junior and a team captain.

And you say you have a very creative dream and that you wanna write a movie.

I like writing.

Would you put a modern twist on those tales or would you use them more in an allegorical sense?

- I would probably put a modern twist on most of them.

- Okay, good.

We had a question about Medusa earlier.

You could really put a modern twist on that.

(Jim chuckles) Well, I hope you get the chance to do that someday, Maria.

And finally, Tucker Havel.

You are a senior and if you could make one change in the world, you have a change that I think would really benefit a lot of people, and that you would wanna make a certain drug a whole lot cheaper.

Tell me the drug and why.

- I would like to make insulin a whole lot cheaper because a lot of people depend on it and it's priced exorbitantly.

For the amount it takes to produce it, it could be charged that much, probably like 10, $15 a vial.

Ask any either two up there and they will tell you the same thing.

They'd want insulin to be cheaper.

(Jim chuckles) - With the prevalence of diabetes these days, that I'm sure it is a problem for a lot of people.

You also say that your dream in life is to live long enough to see type one diabetes cured, right?

- That's the hope.

- That's the hope.

Well, we can always hope for stuff like that.
