Earlier today, the Crookston High School celebrated its annual Homecoming Pepfest in the High School gymnasium. After being welcomed by Health Teacher Josh Hardy, the Crookston Cheer team was introduced to lead the Crookston Rouser and get the grades fired up.
The contestants of Miss Crookston then took center stage to do a recreation of their opening number from Ox Cart Days, which led to the introduction of the 2022 Homecoming Court. The Homecoming Court this year included:
The king’s court: Tanner Giese, Jaren Bailey, Jack Doda, and George Widman
The queen’s court: Libby Salentine, Stella Duden, Hannah Brouse, Carly Brown, and Abby Borowicz
And this year’s King and Queen were T.J. Sanchez and Stella Duden
The Pepfest then went into its entertainment section with the Crookston Volleyball, Soccer, Girls Tennis, and Football teams all participating in a lip sync battle, where they could perform any form of entertainment they wanted for the school and be judged by a panel of teachers. In the end, the Girls Tennis team was awarded first place out of all of the teams. To finish the Pepfest, Activities Director, Greg Garmen introduced all fall Senior athletes.
Homecoming week will conclude tonight with the football team hosting East Grand Forks at 6:00 p.m., followed by the Homecoming dance at 9:30 p.m. inside the Crookston High School.
