The winners of the Homecoming court were  Queen Marissa Ramos and King Darrick Bledsoe. Also crowned were Prince Jaiden Morgan and Princess Grace Deal.

“[Winning] felt great honestly, gave me more motivation to always do better,” Bledsoe said about winning Homecoming King.”

Head coach Billy Skinner said the teammates worked together to win.

“[We] Didn’t really do anything different,” Skinner said. “We are executing at a higher level as a team and as coaches because we have a full year in our systems together.”

With the game being earlier than expected, it really caught people off guard.There was still a good turnout and with a big crowd of people many people got to see the big win and the halftime show.
