Ainsworth and Riverside will be painted red and black this week as the Highland Huskies celebrate homecoming.
Local business windows will be decorated by Highland High School students to show school spirit, and the middle schoolers will create spirit banners to display at the game. Sydney Black, Zoe Mahler, Abby Schwarz, Nathan Butler, Jack Streb, and Thomas Tory have been named as the homecoming court. The week marches off with parades in Riverside on Monday at 6 p.m. and in Ainsworth on Tuesday at 7 p.m., featuring the Highland Marching Band. The band will perform and the king and queen will be crowned during halftime Friday night, as the Huskies trample the Van Buren Warriors at 7 p.m.
