Friday, October 15 was a day that so many people were waiting for, the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen. As the court lifted their Blue and Gold boxes, a gold balloon underneath two of the boxes would reveal the winners. This year’s BHS 2021 Homecoming King and Queen are Alex Hernandez and Gwen Spaliatsos!
The crowd cheered with excitement as the winners were crowned in the high school auditorium.
When asked about this moment, Queen Spaliatsos said, “I was ready to cry because it was a very happy moment in my life, and I was not expecting it at all.”
King Hernandez also felt so many overwhelming emotions when asked how he felt about winning: “It’s not everyday that you get a chance to win something like this. To even be able to be elected onto court and win the crown, I owe it to everyone who voted for me, so thank you to everyone who made it possible.”
After the crowning ceremony, King Hernandez, Queen Spaliatsos, and the remaining Homecoming Court followed the marching band in a parade to the football stadium where more celebrations were held.
To cap off a successful, Friday night Homecoming, the football team also won their game with many fans and alumni in the stands.
The Homecoming festivities ended last Saturday with the dance where so many fun experiences and memories were made.
If you are thinking about running for Homecoming court in the future, King Hernandez and Queen Spaliatsos have some advice for you.
Hernandez: “Just have fun with it. No matter what happens, win or lose, it’s such a fun time participating in everything.”
Spaliatsos: “Be yourself, and don’t try to be someone you’re not.”
Congratulations, Alex and Gwen!
