HOMECOMING AUTHOR: MAGGEE BLEYER
On Saturday, February 18th, students, alumni, and local surrounding communities celebrated their homecoming spirit and love for WVC. The homecoming day kicked off with two home basketball games against Olney Central College. The women’s basketball team dominated the Lady Blue Knights with a score of 114-78. The men’s basketball team played an intense nail-biter against Olney but, in the end, WVC prevailed. At the sound of the ending buzzer–followed by another roaring sound of happy and excited WVC Warrior fans–the score was 87- 75. During half-time of the men’s game, WVC held their annual Homecoming King & Queen Coronation. Representing the men’s basketball team, Simon Wilson was crowned WVC Homecoming King. Wilson is also the first two-time winning Homecoming King in WVC history. Meredith Gillard, representing her volleyball team, was crowned WVC Homecoming Queen. Numerous clubs participated in the coronation, including Radio/TV, Student Senate, Rotaract, Social Services, Marketing Business Management, Nursing, and other WVC student groups/sports. The WVC Student Senate held a homecoming dance quickly after the men’s basketball game. Students who attended the dance had the chance to win a special door prize. Students won Taco Tierra gift cards, Roasati’s discount cards, gift baskets, and, the most anticipated prize of all, a 40-inch flat-screen TV. The lucky winner of the TV was sophomore student Micah Henson. All in all, students, alumni, and community members alike bonded together over their shared love and joy for WVC on Homecoming day. From the thrilling cheers at the basketball games to the livening laughter on the dance floor, this year’s homecoming was an absolute success.
