High school students painted the downtown streets Wednesday evening.

Homecoming King and Queen nominees are members of the senior class.

King candidates include Jonas Sotelo, Cody Rucker, J.T. Holland, Harley Schafer, and Andrew Farner.

Queen nominees are November Meredith and Raygan Mendez.

Other members of the homecoming court were elected by each of their classes and include junior prince Corey Miller and princess Baylee Orsak, sophomore duke Braden Crow and duchess Hannah Rogers, and freshman page Memphis McGough and lady-in-waiting Emily Murk.

Completing the honorees are FFA sweetheart Johnnie Hise and beau Arren Hawley.

The entire Homecoming Court will be presented during the halftime activities at the varsity football game this Friday.

Pep Rally

Mini cheerleaders will join the high school and junior high squads for the homecoming pep rally tomorrow in downtown Moran. The pep rally is set to begin at 3:15 p.m.
