Homecoming ’86 'em 46€A “I can’t ever remember being so happy. ” With only two games left in the season. Ster- ling entered Stallworth Stadium October 31 hop- ing to get back in the win column. The Rangers had already fallen victim to two district opponents and hopes of possible playoff contention were all but gone. However, besides being Halloween, it was also Homecoming. The spirit and the half- time festivities made for a memorable game as the Rangers went on to triumph over Pasadena 35-19 and Ronda Gillum was crowned queen. The Homecoming court, which was com- posed of all cheerleaders, was the highlight of the ceremonies. Ronda. a senior, was crowned queen after being a court member for four years. It was the most exciting feeling I’ve ever ex- perienced. I was so honored. I can’t ever remember being so hap- py. exclaimed the new queen. The band and Stars also helped make the event special. Once again, the teams combined efforts to commemorate the ’86 Texas Sesquicentennial. While playing a medley of Texas songs, a giant Texas flag was formed. This brought both sides to a standing ovation in honor of the state’s 150th birthday. Homecoming also brought a welcome start to the most anticipated time of the year. Lee Week. The spirit pro- moted bv the win multiplied numerous times and set the stage for the cross-town show down the next week. Among band and Star members. Dana Barrett and her stepfather.
