Those leaders are now gone, though, and with the 2022-23 season beginning Dec. 1, he'll be relying heavily on a talented group of team-oriented sophomores. "Culture, being in year two, has been a big help," Hill said. "We're not surprised by expectation...

It's a part of me." She has also explored creating prom make-up and face paint art on a few people but, Killinger is...
