Tristan Miller, Rikky Hunt are Worth County Homecoming Royalty

Tristan Miller and Rikky Hunt were named Worth County Homecoming Royalty Thursday night at the school. Other king candidates were Brevyn Ross and Jacob Hardy. Other queen candidates were Adrian Fletchall and Tess Andrews. Junior attendants were Rachael Gardner and Harley Charles. Sophomore attendants were Wayde Parman and Shelby Steele. Freshman attendants were Isaac Alarcon and Hailey Hunt. All fall sports teams were introduced.

A powder puff game was played, where the girls played football while the football players cheered them on. The football players did not always know the cheers, and had trouble lifting each other up. And the referees missed a blatant roughing the kicker call and then looked the other way as the blue team, in their frantic efforts to tie the game, put nine players on the field. And the chain crew was not exactly neutral after Payton Adwell ran back the opening second half kickoff for a touchdown and they celebrated with her. But it was all in good fun as the red team held off a frantic blue rally to win by one score.

Jessi Badell, channeling her older brother Ben, tossed a scoring strike; Adrian Fletchall, who had actually played on 'Lil Tigers, added two picks. Rikky Jo capped off her night after being crowned queen with a 15-yard run for a score. And on the other side of the fence, some of the football players had an obvious talent for cheerleading and dancing. Brevyn Ross executed a perfect reverse flip, while Dalton Auffert danced to "Watermelon Crawl" for the halftime entertainment.
