Your King Candidates

Wyatt Dickie:

“I think I got voted because my last name is dickie which is at the top of the list. I also think I could of got chosen because I am in a winter sport. Wrestling isn’t that big but there is a lot of wrestling fans in our school which I think played into it. I found out I was voted in while in hays at a tournament. At first I didn’t want to be a candidate because it’s during the season and I have to focus on wrestling. I put a lot of time into wrestling. Once I found out I only have to pose for a few photos I was on board. I’m most excited to wear all my wrestling gear onto the basketball court during crowning. I wasn’t expected to get voted in because I often just keep to myself and don’t talk to a lot of students of the school”

Caden Bacon:

“I am friendly and kind to people in the school, so yeah that is why I think I was voted in. I was very shocked that I was voted in. I came out of weights class and everybody was like congratulating me and I was like what are you talking about because I didn’t know. I was excited when I found out though. No I was not expecting to get voted in because I am just more quiet. I sit back and do my own thing.”

Cole Henson:

Henson didn’t know why he was voted onto homecoming court, but Isabell Infante, 11, who happened to be walking down the hall has a few ideas.

“He is just a good person he does well with people. And he’s just nice to everyone and makes everyone feel welcome,” said Infante.

“[When I first found out] I thought it was a joke,” says Henson. “I was at work and they announced it in seventh hour and like six people texted me and they were like ‘congratulations on the nomination!’ and I was like ‘the nomination for what?’ they texted back ‘you’re a Hoco candidate’ and I was like ‘you’re really funny.’  I forgot that Hoco was happening…I was, my face turned red, so I wouldn’t say embarrassed, but maybe bashful. Like I don’t know it was interesting. No I was not expecting to get voted in. It would be more likely for me to win presidency than for me to get homecoming court and It’s just weird.”

Alex Johnson:

“I am involved in a lot of sports like baseball and basketball. I was initially surprised I didn’t think anybody knew who I was, but I was happy and excited. I just didn’t think people would vote for me for homecoming court, but I am happy they did.”
