Collin Nevil and Morgan Shepherd were crowned on Friday, September 21 on the football field just before the Goddard vs. Maize game. The two ran as a pair the week of Homecoming, and were crowned at 6:30 PM in front of the entire Goddard community.
The Student Council led the charge this year for fall homecoming and created a week of spirit. The planning for spirit week, the ceremony, and the dance were started just one month before the big game.
"Planning for the dance was definitely different since neither Jake or I have ever done it before, but we did a pretty good job," senior Morgan Anderson said.
The week included school spirit days like Pajama Day, Super Hero Day, Medieval Day, Class Color Day, and ultimate Spirit Day. The week went out with a bang with the Homecoming Dance following the end of the Homecoming game.
"I really liked the music choices at the dance, it was great," junior Nikki Marshall said.
The dance had some technical issues that put a damper on the mood in the gym late Friday night, but, overall, students had a great time. As Nevil and Shepherd danced to I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz, other candidates and students joined and ended the night on a good note.
"The dance wasn’t the most favorable outcome, but it wasn’t our worst nightmare. Hopefully next time we can get more people there," Anderson said.
