Tug-o-war between staff Packers and Bears fans.

On Friday, Wilmot held its annual Homecoming Pep Rally.  Students were greeted by pep band music as they entered the Field House.  Shortly after, the Homecoming Court was brought out. It consisted of freshmen representatives Chaz Schmidt and Jayden Berg, sophomores Billy Akers and Olivia Faber, juniors Hannah Greisen and Ryan Guetzow. The senior representatives were Steven Summers and Alex Romani, and Ryan Fox and Dana Chellman. Tj Goralski and Ashley Romani were announced this year’s Homecoming King and Queen.

Next, the chorus performed a song and dance combination. The Homecoming Court came back out to perform a type of pie eating contest in which juniors Hannah Greisen and Ryan Guetzow won. Afterwards, the staff came onto the court to engage in a game of tug-o-war.  They were divided into teams of Packers fans and Bears fans. After a struggle the Bears fans overcome and won the game. When the staff left up came the cheerleaders. They preformed their dance and stunts to a mixed song. Finally Mr. Irresistible was announced. The winner was Tyler Thomas. Lastly our fall athletes were given credit along with a pep speech from Mr. Greinke, our head football coach.

Last Friday Wilmot played in their annual Homecoming Game. The game was against Delevan who had a 3-3 record coming into the game, the same as Wilmot. The pre-game atmosphere was crazy. Everyone was hoping for a win. The game did not disappoint. Delevan scored first putting themselves up 7-0. Then Wilmot tied up the game at seven’s. Delevan came back two pos

Then Wilmot went up 28-14 heading into the  fourth quarter. Delevan came back and tied the game with a minute and a half left in the game. Wilmot was intercepted and the game went into overtime. On Delevan’s first possession they were intercepted in the end zone and it was Wilmot’s chance to win the game. Wilmot ran three running plays to get into field goal range. Then Wilmot kicked the game winning field goal and the student section stormed the field celebrating their first Homecoming win in four years.

The homecoming dance of 2009 theme was Night at the Orient and boy was it a night. The dance was probably one of the best yet. The dance started at 8 o’clock and it got started fast. With people doing crowd surfing, which later was not allowed because it was dangerous, to a group of students doing the I Gotta Feeling flash mob. Overall it was just an fun night with all the good music to dance too. During the middle of the dance everyone stop to watch  the 2009 homecoming court come down the steps and have there dance with each other.   Sadly though the dance had to end at 11, but it was a good time while it lasted.
