Lamar Democrat/Melody Metzger The Lamar Tigers homecoming game against Mt. Vernon was set for Friday evening, Sept. 27, 7 p.m., at Thomas M. O’Sullivan Stadium. A parade formed at the school at 2:45 p.m. and traveled south down Gulf Street, circling the square and ending up at the Barton County Courthouse bandstand. The parade consisted of the flag corp, band members, players, cheerleaders, homecoming candidates and floats from the various classes, to which the freshman club won. Athletic Director Scott Quinly welcomed those attending in the absence of Coach Beshore, who was absent due to the birth of a son that morning. Quinly emphasized, “These boys have worked their tails off to make this community proud.” Also speaking, much to his chagrin and being goaded by the football players, was Coach Bailey who commented on last week’s loss and stated, “Get an oar and start rowing, because there are better days ahead for this bunch”. Some of the football players spoke, thanking the fans for all of their support and encouragement and for always cheering them on. Following this, games were played by the coronation candidates including Junk in the Trunk, played by the boys with Darin Caruthers wining, followed with the girls seeing who could eat a roll up the fastest without using their hands. Eleese Ortega was the winner of this game and lastly was the egg toss, with Caruthers and Ortega winning that. Candidates included Sophie Bronson and Eli Hull, Eleese Ortega and Darin Caruthers and Roxy Sprouls and Carson Sturgell. The cheerleaders, band and pep squad also performing, pumping up the crowd.
