8 Entertainment A Quiet Place scores big Cardi B leads the way in 2018 with horror film enthusiasts with new hip-hop album release ELLIOTT JONES Staff Writer After only a few weeks in theaters, A Quiet Place is already making headlines as “one of the year’s best” horror films, according to critic Jackie K. Cooper. After scoring a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes in its first week, the film has people sprinting to theaters to see what many are calling 2018’s version of Get Out, a successful horror/ thriller from last year. Written and directed by The Office star John Krasinski, his lead character, Lee, joins his real-life wife Emily Blunt’s character, Evelyn, in a story about a young family living in a post-apocalyptic world in the year 2020. Only communicating through sign language, they and their three children must avoid being killed by creatures who feed off of noise by being completely silent. However, this is not as easy as it seems. With Evelyn expecting a baby and children who are trying to enjoy their adolescence by playing with toys, the family frequently has extremely close calls with these vicious monsters, leaving the audience completely captured with every scene. The blockbuster horror/thriller film keeps audiences on the edge of their seats and eyes glued to the screen for the full 90 John Krasinski directs and stars in the new horror/thriller release A Quiet Place.

You do not want to miss A Quiet Place, which is more than dumb jump scares and clichéd plots. PATRICK BAYOUTH Staff Writer Among the new music that has been released recently, the most talked about and anticipated is Cardi B’s new album Invasion of Privacy. Released on April 6, her first studio album is blowing up. New music by Drake, as well, is seeing plenty of play With notable feature performers like Chance the Rapper, Migos, 21 Savage, and SZA, Invasion of Privacy appeals to hip-hop fans across the globe. Singles “Bodak Yellow” and “Bartier Cardi,” which broke chart records, are featured on the album. At only 25 years old, Cardi B and her career are just beginning to take off as she is sure to be one of the faces of hip-hop in the near future. Drake also dropped his new single “Nice for What,” which is currently the #1 song in the United States and the #2 song in the world behind his other notable single “God’s Plan.” Drake, the most streamed artist on Spotify, always creates a stir when he releases a new piece. The new single sounds like his older music which listeners are excited about, and this is arguably his best song yet. Looking ahead, the future release of Post Malone’s new album on April 27 is much anticipated. Cardi B’s album Invasion of Privacy has already gone gold with a little help from numerous artists.

Photo by Mrs. Pyne. Cooking with Cami CAMI PYNE Contributing Editor This month will be my favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies (when Tiff’s Treats breaks the bank). Serves around 30-40 • 4 1/4 cups all- purpose flour • 2 teaspoon baking soda • ½ teaspoon of salt • 1 ½ cup of real butter • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar • 1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar • 2 teaspoons vanilla • 3 eggs • 1 to 2 bags of chocolate chips 1. Preheat oven to 375*, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter in an electric mixer. Beat in the vanilla and eggs until well blended. Beat in the flour, baking soda, and salt. If you are feeling bold, you can do this in a huge bowl hand mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips. 2. Drop tablespoon sized cookie dough balls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. 3. Bake 8-10 minutes or until light brown. Make sure to cool before consumption. Young and Hungry ISABEL YOUNG Staff Writer This month on Young and Hungry, I will be reviewing the brunch bests in the Houston area in honor of Mother’s Day. Brunch is one of my favorite meals because it combines breakfast with lunch, and you can get eggs and waffles or a burger and fries…or both. Some of my favorite brunch spots are Emmaline, Tiny No. 5, Adair Kitchen, and Liberty Kitchen. You cannot go wrong with any of these brunch spots, and I am sure you will enjoy a lovely brunch with your mother wherever you go. Let me give you some recommendations to ensure your taste buds a sweet time. If you are feeling like something along the line of dessert, I suggest the pastry cream-stuffed French toast or the mascarpone pancake stack from Emmaline. If you are wanting something savory, the eggs benedict or the Emmaline burger will not disappoint. At Tiny No. 5, the West U Special or Southside Special are a great combo of sweet and savory and will start your day off right. Adair Kitchen will also be a great spot for you for Mother’s Day brunch, and some favorites from there are crispy chicken and waffles or a classic omelette. Some of Liberty Kitchen’s brunch favorites are Dixie Chicken Fried Sliders and the pancakes. Hope some of these brunch dishes inspire you for your Mother’s Day.
Sports BASEBALL SOFTBALL Sports Brief The varsity baseball team had a very successful March and the start of SPC play. The Knights began SPC against our neighbor school in red, St John’s. The offense for the Knights was hot, putting up five runs in the first inning, and the Knights’ pitching behind sophomore Tanner Witt earned them a 10-1 victory over the Mavericks. With a SPC Championship rematch, the Knights took on their rivals, the Kinkaid Falcons. Behind the outstanding pitching and offense of seniors Justin Fox and Jack Grams respectively, the Knights earned themselves a 5-4 win over the Falcons. Next, the Knights took on John Copper for the first place seed in SPC. Behind the offense of Peter Geib, Tanner Witt, Colton Rathjen, and Antonio Cruz, the Knights earned an undefeated record in SPC play for the month of March. The Knight Times 9 Girls lacrosse prepares for final SPC push ELLIE RAGIEL Staff Writer Heading to Dallas this weekend for the SPC tournament, the girls varsity lacrosse team is looking back on a season full of highlights under head coach Jessica Adams. The team, which placed fifth in last year’s SPC rankings, hopes to gain one of the top seeds at this year’s tournament. Coach Adams, along with assistant coach Emily White and senior captains Anna St. Denis, Sophia Maldonado, and Merrie Afseth, has led the team to an impressive SPC record, despite the setback of a personal injury at the start of the season. This month the girls had a notable win against Houston Christian at home on April 12. With an impressive 10-9 win in overtime against Memorial as well as a 15-1 sweep of Friendswood already under their belt, the team is looking optimistically toward the SPC Tournament and is excited to play long time SPC rivals in Dallas next week. Additionally, girls lacrosse celebrated their Senior Night this month, when they paid tribute to the team’s four seniors - St. Denis, Maldonado, Afseth, and Kylie Jones, - after their win against GCGLA storm on April 17. EHS varsity softball has an outstanding record of 27-1 and 2-0 in SPC play. The team has had critical triumphs over top public school teams all across the South. Their recent victory over Kinkaid ended with a dominating 10-0 score. They also attended the Schulenberg Tournament and came out undefeated. Seniors Alexis Aboulafia, Sarah Venker, Daryn Grams, Sarah Mouton, Isabelle Ross, and Abby Corder have been working tremendously on and off of the field. TRACK The track teams’ 2018 season had an incredible start and they look to keep their momentum rolling into SPC. In his new role as head track coach, Coach Isaiah Coleman has transitioned smoothly. With exceptionally strong performances in the Texas Relays and Victor Lopez Classic, the teams have made their names known across the state. Led by seniors Omar Denmon and Kansas Watts, the teams looks to bring home the gold next week at SPC. TENNIS The varsity boys and girls tennis teams are finishing up the last remaining matches on their schedules before preparing for SPC. The girls have gone undefeated in their season thus far, with a recent 3-2 win against Emery Weiner and 5-3 against St. Agnes. The boys team redeemed itself after a rough two loss start to the season, beating St. Thomas 5-2 on April 3. These teams, as well as the school, are very hopeful and confident that they will beat SPC rivals St. John’s and Houston Christian in the weeks to come in order to hold their seed in the conference. GOLF The Knights girls and boys golf teams are having a stellar year so far and are hungry for the SPC Championship. The boys team, led by juniors Jack Matthews and Jack Panus, had two recent tournaments. On April 17 they traveled to the Quail Valley Golf Club and on April 24 they participated in the Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club Tournament. The girls golf team, captained by seniors Mary Hellen Kennedy and Margaret Runnels, will participate in these tournaments.

Lacrosse team ends season in tough SPC tourney LAUREN PORTER Editor-in-Chief Knights lacrosse had many exciting games to close out the season and demonstrated true athleticism at SPC. Senior leadership this season has been very strong, with captains Harrison Hobbs, Ford McCann, Marshall McCann, and Noah Dahlberg leading the way. One of the highlight victories of the season was against Houston Christian on Senior Night. Senior Night celebrates the seniors on the team and their future endeavors in college. There were also gift cards to Chickfil-a, Whataburger, and Starbucks that were awarded to attendees as prizes. During the game, the boys played stellar defense and brought home a 10-7 victory. However, the season has been tougher than most for the boys, as they had a close loss against St. Thomas and a loss against St. John’s. The team looks to strengthen their offense by utilizing new methods for next year. On the defensive side, senior Charlie Buckner and junior Holt Johnson have been essential parts of the team as goalies and have blocked many potential goals. Before SPC, the boys had one final game against Ridge Point that resulted in a 10-6 win. The SPC Tournament resulted in three games for the Knights, the first being against Epis- copal School of Dallas, which resulted in a heartbreaking loss, 22-1. The boys then played Greenhill and came up short, 13-5. However, the boys finished the season strong with a 16-6 victory over St. Stephen’s.
