Our fresman homecoming nominees, Camryn Demuesy and Luke Cox. Cox is currently on the basketball team and Demuesy is in volleyball but has plans to do more. “I’m trying to get into more stuff since I’m a freshman and I’m trying to get to know more things,” Demuesy said.

Demuesy and Cox’s plan to be nominated to homecoming court was a last minute decision that turned out in the end. In order to announce their campaign, the couple and some friends took to social media. “We both posted on social media, ‘vote for us’, and then we told people around us, like ‘hey if you haven’t voted yet, vote for us’” Demuesy said.

Due to the late announcement of their campaign, they both were unsure of the results which made the announcement of their nominations even more surprising. “I really didn’t think that we were gonna have a chance, but when they called out our name I was very surprised,” Demuesy said.

Despite the obvious worries that come with being a freshman and being put in the spotlight, the couple are both very happy with their experiences on the homecoming court. “I think it was really cool, I was a bit nervous about walking out on the football field and all, but it was a fun experience,” Cox said.

Sophomores

Brooklyn Clements and Grayson Lesnock received the honor of becoming the sophomore homecoming court this year. Clements is involved in several things at school; Beta Club, track and cheer. Clements has always been known for her talent as a flyer. Not only that, but she is such a caring and hardworking person. Many people love Clements because of her personality and kind spirit. “I did not at all expect to be in the homecoming court,” Clements said.

Lesnock is a kind and outgoing person. People around school love him for the way he makes everyone feel welcomed and appreciated. Lesnock is also on the football team, his position being left tackle on offense. “It felt very great winning and I didn’t expect it to happen,” Lesnock said. After the years of uncertainty in our world, we finally have the opportunity to do something great for the school, just like our sophomore homecoming court.

Juniors

BY RAEGAN JACKSON

This year’s junior homecoming winners were Austin Wilson and Sadie Janisko. Wilson is on the varsity football team and Janisko is involved in Beta Club, National Honor Society and Future Christain Athletes. This was both Wilson and Janisko’s first time being on the homecoming court.

Neither Wilson or Janisko campaigned for homecoming court yet still had the majority of the junior class rooting for them.“I felt happy but shocked at the same time because I did not expect to win,” Wilson said. While it was neither Janisko or Wilson’s plan to be on homecoming court, let alone win, for the junior class they decided to go along with it and make the best out of the situation. “The best thing I could do was go along with the joke and make the best out of it. I was excited to get dressed up and make a memory of it,” Janisko said. Both Janisko and Wilson feel that even though it was unplanned, they had a fun time and would be happy to be on homecoming court again.

Seniors

BY COLTON HARBOLT

The Homecoming queen and king for the senior class was Maddie Hurley and Cole Britt. Hurley is involved in Yearbook, SLAM, Academic Team, soccer, she is an FCA leader, secretary of NHS, and beta club. Britt is a student football coach, on the media team for basketball, and a member of project unify.

“To actually see my name on the ballot was pretty exciting,” Britt said. Both Hurley and Britt campaigned together leading up to nominations just by spreading the word that they were running for queen and king and it spread around the school. Britt also had the football team supporting him due to his connections with the team. When the ballot was released, Britt and Hurley were excited about the outcome.

The day of the game, where Britt and Hurley were going to find out if they won king and queen, was nerve-racking standing in front of the school, but exciting.“I was actually super super nervous before, I was nervous for the game, and then on top of that nervous finding out if I was gonna win” Britt said. Hurley was just happy to be there. “I had never won something like this before, and it was a really exciting experience,” Hurley said. It was an exciting shock to Britt and Hurley when they found out they were crowned homecoming queen and king because of who they were running against, but they were happy to know they won together.
