Fall Homecoming 2012 is Friday for Iola High School. Students have been celebrating all week with weird and wacky days at school. Wednesday night the Mustang football team hosted a pep rally and bonfire.
Spirit is high. So when Prairie View High’s Buffalos and their fans come into Riverside Park and over that little hill, they should see nothing by Blue and Gold.
Blue and Gold are the standards for Iola High. And as the Mickey Mouse Club March says “Forever let us hold our banner High!, High!, High! High!”
At IHS and the rest of the district’s schools, Friday is Blue and Gold day. All IHS fans should break out their Blue and Gold and come out to the football game on Friday night.
You might keep the rain gear out too. Yes, for the fourth straight week, there’s a call for rain Friday. Let’s hope it ends up like two weeks ago in Osawatomie — the rain came early then cleared out by game time.
Come early to the football stadium Friday. The IHS fall homecoming king and queen will be crowned prior to the game. The ceremony begins at 6:15 p.m.
Iola High Booster Club will have its cook wagon fired up to have food available at the game. The booster club will also have a booth with all types of Mustang and Fillies spirit items for sale.
“We’re going have a great show for you Friday night. Come out and bring your friends to help us get the homecoming victory,” said Mustang head football coach Doug Kerr at Wednesday night’s pep rally and bonfire.
“We’ve entered a new part of our schedule. We call it the homecoming part since our homecoming is Friday then we go on the road for two weeks at Central Heights and Wellsville — both are homecoming games. We want three homecoming victories.”
That brought a roar from the fans gathered to cheer on IHS.
The Mustangs take on the Prairie View Buffaloes in a Pioneer League contest Friday. The Buffaloes have won two games in a row — blowouts of Anderson County and Wellsville — both were league victories.
“Coffeyville wasn’t a league or district game. We went in with confidence and to see where we are as a team against a ranked opponent,” Kerr said of last week’s 40-20 loss at Coffeyville. “Now, we step back into the meat of our schedule turning our attention to league and district games. First is Prairie View then we move to the next one.”
Move forward Mustangs in Blue and Gold.
