Huntsville's Homecoming- A Fall Tradition!

We can't believe it's already been over a week since Homecoming!

We are ALL Hornets!!

Since Homecoming, both our Varsity Volleyball and Football teams have additional wins under their belts, and the decorations have come down from the dance. Most thoughts are now focused on school, the rest of the seasons and (of course!) the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.

 
She's got Hornet Spirit- it's written all over her face!!
Homecoming 2014 ("The Day") is definitely gone, and Homecoming 2014 ("The Memory") is settling in.
A man, his green wig and his bucket.

So we hope you are OK with indulging us as we share lots of photos, because we would feel remiss if we did not share these shots from that wonderful Friday.  Our coverage begins at our pep rally at the high school,  includes the varsity games, the homecoming crowning, a special salute to breast cancer survivors, and of course the dance.

Lady Hornet Basketball players representing. Soon it will be their turn!!
First game is in Madisonville on November 11th.
By the way, our new student-created HHS website,  www.huntsvillehive.com, has a slideshow on its front page featuring over 150 student centered photos, including lots of pics from the dance.

Then it was time for the Huntsville Hornet Varsity Football team to take the field.   Our Hornets took care of business, beating Bryan-Rudder decisively, 34-10.
