Trojan Homecoming / Senior Recognition Lee County High School will celebrate Homecoming Friday night as the Trojans take on Lowndes County on Trojan Field. The last game played in Trojan Field brought a Trojan victory in two overtimes as the Trojans de feated Ware County with a score of 24-15. Trojan fans hope for another upset as LCHS pushes to fill the stands with Trojan sup port. "Support from the fans IS im portant," remarked Coach Tim Goodin. "Our last home game seated the smallest crowd I can remember in my 7 year history here, partially because students were out of school that day, par tially because of the weather, and partially because of our season record at the time." Yet Trojan players still played on to victory, with those fans who were there wild with excitement toward the end of the game. It may have been the smallest crowd of the year, but all in attendance agreed that it was the best game of the year. Coach Goodin continued to comment on the team's improve ment through the year. "The last three weeks have seen marked improvement in several areas, and Friday night's game should be a good ballgame." Senior participants in Friday night activities will be recognized in a pre-game ceremony. Senior football players, cheerleaders, band members, and Danceliners and their parents will be intro duced and honored in a ceremony beginning at 7:40. This tribute to Senior athletes and participants is a tradition at Lee County High School, providing the school and the community a chance to thank Seniors for their contributions to the game. Halftime festivities will also take on a different flair as the Homecoming Court is presented and the Homecoming Queen and Princess are crowned. An added bonus to this week's game will be the post-game field show by the Lowndes County Band. The band, totaling over 200 students, will arrive in 12 buses to entertain fans following the game. Other Homecoming activities include the Homecoming Parade at 4:30 pm on Thursday after noon. LCHS students are also in vited to attend the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night in the high school cafeteria. Tickets are available for purchase at the high school during the week prior to the dance.
