WCHS Celebrates Homecoming

Warren County High School celebrated their annual homecoming activities last week. Students participated daily in spirt days that included Tacky Day and Twin Day.

The week's festivities got off to a rousing start with the annual Powderpuff game on Wednesday night. The game pitted the seniors and sophomores against the Juniors and freshmen. The junior and freshman team, coached by juniors, Tay Erwin, Stanley Johnson, and Javier Lowe, came out on top by a score of 13-6. The senior team was coached by Johnathan Lewis and Kentrell Latimore. The game showcased some of the stellar athletic talent of the WCHS girls.

Ticaro Heath, C.J. Williams, and Tommy Seals, members of last year's graduating class, served as referees for the game. No game would be complete without cheerleaders, and this game was no different. A number of WCHS male students donned school cheerleader uniforms and cheered both teams on as they gave it their all on the gridiron.

Homecoming events continued Thursday night with the annual coronation event. Warren County Middle and High School gathered in the auditorium to crown representatives from each class. Students voted in each class voted for a male and female to represent them as well as an overall representative for the school. Cameron Bolton was chosen as the homecoming king and Larissa Hudson was crowned Miss WCHS by last year's title holder, Sharane Johnson.

Homecoming culminated on a rainy but event filled Friday evening. Many Warren County graduates and students assembled in the newly dedicated Holliman Auditorium to honor the late Albert J. Massey by naming the new football stadium in his honor. Several former students and co-workers took the stage to express just how much Mr. Massey meant to the community. The dedication ended with the unveiling of a monument near the concession stand and the unveiling of the scoreboard which now reads "Albert J. Massey Field".

The Screaming Devils then took the field for the homecoming game against the Bulldogs of Hancock Central. The Devils wasted no time putting points on the board as they capitalized on a Bulldog turnover on the first play from scrimmage and never looked back. The Devils shutout the Bulldogs 27-0. Miss Tiandra Harris was crowned the 2008 Homecoming Queen at half-time.
