Seniorsoutrageous Cats rule the court And the winner is... was a popular phrase for the Warsaw Wildcats during the Basketball Homecoming festivities Friday, January 15. The activities began the previous Monday with the annual Spirit Week. Each day the students would dress up to a different idea. The days were as follows: Monday, generic day; Tuesday, sweat day; Wednesday, clash day; Thursday, crazy day; Friday, school colors day. To pep up the students for the Homecoming game the Student Council sponsored a Pep As- sembly. The cheerleaders cheered and did a dance to Bad by Michael Jackson; an ice cream eating contest occurred between Coach Burke and Coach Dixon; the starters of both varsity teams had a tricycle race; and the drill team performed to U got the Look by Prince. I thought drill team ' s dance was very good be- cause their movements were precise and well thought out, commented Chris Keyes. The Junior Varisty game started out the even- ing with a roar! Warsaw Wildcats chewed up the Stover Bulldogs with a score of 76 to 22. . Next up were the Lady Wildcats. Sandy Parker led the girls with a record breaking score of thirty-nine points. The final outcome was in the Lady Cats favor with a score of 79 to 1 2. Finally, the varsity boys demonstrated excel- lence in their Homecoming game against Stover. Branden Boise had the top score of 21 points. Chris Thixton, senior, had a record breaking total of 26 rebounds along with 20 points. The final score was 74 to 47. The whole team was up for the game and I thought we all played hard and smart, stated Thixton. With a roaring crowd which filled the entire gymnasium the Wildcats were on a winning streak. Finally, it was time to call timeout from the Varsity Boys game to watch the Homecom- ing coronation. During halftime, two senior and two junior candidates were escorted across the basketball court to the stage. After standing on the stage for what seemed an eternity, Hansford Hair, master of ceremonies, announced Kris Nolle, senior, as the 1988 Basketball Homecom- ing Queen. He also announced Lenora Rether- ford, senior, as the Homecoming Princess. Other members of Nolte ' s court were Chris Thixton, Dustin Lear; both escorts of the senior can- didates Heather Lynch, junior candidate; Jeff Edge, escort; Kirsten Gott, junior candidate; Brian Grobe, escort; Brooke Foster, flower girl; Cody Flowers, crown bearer; Julie Flippin, 1987 Queen; and Jock Porter, escort. basketball , ' homecoming designed by kristen nolle The 1988 Basketball Homecoming court consis- ted of: senior.
