The homecoming game is an annual event. Every year, it takes place between late September and early October. We questioned a few junior varsity athletes briefly. And each type of answer is present throughout. 

We asked Jared Culmer, Jeremey Jones, Shamari Clark, and Josh Eastman. We asked who they predicted would start the homecoming game off. They came up with Hayden Morris, Jonah Brent, Emerson Miller, Wyatt Harris, Ayden Saunders, and Mason Holmes. Then we asked what they think we will do against Stuarts Draft. Culmer and Jones believe we will do good, but Clark and Eastman state they don’t think we will do well. And the last question we asked was “How many points do you think we will score? Culmer said “30”, Jones said “at least 25”, Clark says “20” and Eastman says the score will be “32-26”

Then we questioned Drahcir Woodson, Jonah Brent, Casey Breeden, and Emerson Miller, who were all Varsity players. When we first asked them what their favorite play to run was, some of them replied they didn't have a favorite, but Breeden and Woodson said their favorite play was the out and 37. Breeden scored two touchdowns, while Miller scored one.  Faster running is something that Brent, Breeden, and Miller indicated they needed to work on, and Woodson said he would need to work on catching. Next, we estimated their weekly practice time by asking them. Breeden says 15 or 12, Woodson and Miller say 20,  and Brent says 4. Then, we presented what we consider to be the most crucial query up until that point. We questioned them about the principles or lessons you have learned that you live by both on and off the field. Miller says teamwork. Breeden advises "working hard and never giving up," Woodson advises "don't dance, just run," and Jonah Brent regrettably ran out of time to respond to the remaining questions. Who is your biggest supporter? was the last question we posed. Breeden, Woodson, and Miller all mention their families.
