Homecoming for Drew

Homecoming 2011

Drew & Maya

Last weekend was homecoming. Drew asked his friend Maya to attend as his date.  Homecoming here is the way they honor the senior players of the football league which will move to the middle school football team next season.  There is no dance for this homecoming.

Drew's homecoming consists of only the senior players, the 6th graders, of the football team.  The 6th graders get to ask a girl to come to homecoming and escort them onto the field.  The girl presents the player with their football medal and the player presents his date with a flower.  Homecoming is a big deal for a girl if she is asked and many of the girls get really dressed up.

All the girls dressed up

A king is also named.  All the football players on the varsity team and the girls that have been asked to go to homecoming vote 2 days before for the boy that think should be king.  The king's date his then crowned queen.  This years voting ended up in a tie so they named two kings.  Colby Long and Jonah Smith.

It was a great night for all the senior boys and their dates.

I have posted 2 video's on my facebook page if your interested in seeing the ceremony.

Maya & Drew with great smiles!!
