Libby High homecoming royalty crowned
<p>Dayln Germany and Isaak Jones</p>
A pair of Libby Logger athletes were crowned homecoming king and queen Thursday during the high school’s coronation ceremony.
Senior homecoming king Isaak Jones is a starting receiver on the Logger football team. Fellow senior Dayln Germany, a starter on the basketball, softball and volleyball teams, was crowned homecoming queen. Jones also plays basketball and baseball for the Loggers.
The announcement of king and queen was preceeded by performances from the school conert choir and six-piece jazz band. Former Libby homecoming queen Samantha Hannah delivered a speech reflecting on the day she was crowned and the lessons she has learned since.
“Homecoming is a time to celebrate what home is all about,” Hannah said. “My home set my trajectory through life. If you want to raise your trajectory in life, take your education seriously. I remember when I could not wait to get out of my home, but eventually I learned to appreciate all its comforts.”
Jones said he dreams of visiting the Bahamas so he can lay on a beach and lounge without a care. Jenna Barrick, the coronation’s mistress of ceremonies, mentioned Germany’s intentions of studying elementary education at the University of Montana next year.
Other members of homecoming court were Travis Burrell, Auria Benefield, Dylan Roby and McKenzie Williams.
The Libby Loggers football team hosts Frenchtown at 7 p.m. Friday. A homecoming tailgate party begins at 5:30 p.m. in the school parking lot.
