Judging by the spirit at the homecoming pep rally on Friday morning, homecoming was a success.

The theme “Time of our Lives’” was carried out through the dress-up days with Tuesday through Thursday being a specified decade. Neon, tight rolled jeans and afro wigs dominated the hallways. A Crimson Crier poll shows that the ‘90s day was one of the favorites.

“The diversity of costumes and the colors used for the ‘90s were exciting,” senior Ashton Turner said.

SGA made changes to the events with one of them being the move from day to night for the powder puff game. The game which started at 6 p.m. pitted the sophomores against the juniors. The juniors won 21-0.

“We focused on strengths and weaknesses. We put the people who could catch in the right positions. Our mindset was no discrimination between offense and defense because we all worked together and had a positive attitude,” junior Jaida Steele said. “We were hyped for the game.”

By winning the first game, the juniors faced the seniors in the second game. The senior team had only a few players so they recruited some sophomores to play and to coach them. Despite the added team members, the juniors won, 28-0. The win gave the junior class a 10 point lead in the class competition.

The last competition was held at the pep rally where classes battled it out in a game of Hungry Hippo. The sophomores defeated the juniors to face the seniors in the last class count match. The seniors won the match capturing 32 balloons.

“When I was walking up there, my heart was beating really fast. But once I got down and got my bearings, the actual event was pretty leisurely. It felt like I was flying,” senior Jonathan Hatchett said. “Once we won, I got pumped up and embraced my best friend and hippo partner.”

At the end of the pep rally, emcee Evan Carter announced that the juniors won the class competition.

“It made me extremely happy because the senior class has been so hateful to us for not having any spirit and we just beat them,” junior Charlotte Stanley said.
