Thousands of fans lined the streets through the campus of Aledo High School to cheer the sports teams, clubs and band as they rode floats in the 2018 Homecoming parade.
The little kids with their bags ready, cheered and asked the high school players to toss candy from the floats as they passed at Monday evening’s festive atmosphere.
The parade ended at Bearcat Stadium, where all the groups took the field and were introduced at the homecoming community pep rally. Fans were also treated to several performances by the Aledo cheerleaders.
The Bearcats host Everman on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for this year’s Homecoming Game. The Homecoming Queen will be announced at halftime. This year’s Homecoming Court includes: freshmane Olivia Tregellas and Emma Davis; sophomores Rylee Paterson and Carson Fronk; juniors Kylie Belt and Brittney White, and seniors Kennedy Black, Beth Ann Simmons and Sophie Collins.
The Aledo foootball team, ranked No. 1 in the 5A Division II state poll, is 3-0 and 1-0 in district heading into Friday’s game. Everman enters the game at 1-3 overall and 1-1 in district play. The Bulldogs lone win was a 7-0 decision over Arlington Seguin. Everman’s loss in district play was 35-8 to Burleson Centennial, which Aledo beat 63-16 two weeks ago.
It is the home opener for Aledo, which started the season with three straight road victories.
