Spirits are high for homecoming – Parade set to start at 12:15 p.m.

The Warren County High School football team is looking to break a six-game losing streak to Coffee County. Perhaps this afternoon’s Homecoming Parade will provide the enthusiasm needed to push the Pioneers to victory.

The parade leaves the Civic Center today at 12:15 p.m. and follows the traditional parade route.

It will turn left on Main Street at D.C. Tires. From there it will continue down Main Street, turning right at Hardee’s and continuing all the way down Main Street to Sparta Street.

From there, the parade will turn on Morford Street and head back to the Civic Center by passing Hardee’s and turning right at D.C. Tires.

In recent years, the class floats have been impressive and WCHS student council sponsor Pam Youngblood says this year is no different.

‘I’m always in awe of these floats,’ said Youngblood. ‘Each year they keep getting better and better, and the kids have really been working hard.’

While not wanting to reveal too much float information, Youngblood did say two of the float entries have a unique twist. She said the sophomore and junior floats have a bicentennial theme, while the senior and freshman floats feature traditional themes geared toward the team the Pioneers are playing.

Warren County’s 4-0 record has certainly helped to generate excitement. ‘The students are hyped,’ said Youngblood, who added the week of school spirit days have received widespread participation.
