As you walk down the hallways of BPHS, there are smiles all around you.  However, a certain senior catches your eye. Her eyes twinkling, the smile on her face puts one on your's too. Mariah Penascino's birthday could not have fallen on a more appropriate date, October 7, World Smile Day. Everywhere she goes, Mariah always seems to cheer people up.  When she's not in school, this athlete is running or practicing basketball, as well as sleeping and listening to music. Her favorite music is R&B and anything she can get up and dance to. Another sport she enjoys is swimming, especially since she is a lifeguard in the summer. She also used to be a gymnist before she gave it up to follow her passion in basketball. Her ultimate goal in life is to be in the WNBA, so a lot of her free time is invested in both basketball and academics. As well as basketball, she also spends a lot of time practicing and perfecting her journalism skills for Hawk Eye. She chose to write for the online newspaper to become a better writer and also to spread her love of sports to the people. So, if you ever miss a game, find Mariah. She can fill you in on any sport, any time, any where. Written by: Julia Angotti, Staff Writer
