Being a third generation islander, I love to go to the Bainbridge High School Homecoming every year. This year did not disappoint! First off, the weather was FANTASTIC…there is nothing better than walking to good old BHS in the dark not wearing a jacket! The blue and gold was prominent everywhere, from painted faces (and chests), to colored hair and attire. There was some serious Spartan pride present! It's always fun to see classmates and teachers from the past, burgers being flipped, neighbors and kids growing up at these games. I always enjoy seeing who's on the Homecoming court, who gets crowned King and Queen and of course the cheerleaders doing there annual dance. Our team even won the game!
The teaching staff, along with local police, were on high alert with rumors of streakers…however, that did not occur. I have to believe even the most courageous youth running buck naked across the field would think twice about his or her athletic ability whilst being chased by one of their own teachers or even worse a police man or woman. It was rather funny to see all the teachers wearing sneakers…just in case.
Ahhh good times in a small town!
