Moran royalty crowned

By Sam Waller

Moran seniors Neveah Huskey and Caleb York were crowned homecoming queen and king Saturday, Sept. 23, as the school district wrapped up a week of activities.

Moran graduates Jan Hagemann Harber and Donnie Connally were named Coming Home Queen and King.

Conally was Moran’s first – and until last year only – recipient of the Texas Lone Star FFA Degree until 2022 graduates Johnnie Hise and Hannah Rogers achieved it. The three were introduced at Friday’s homecoming assembly.

The Lone Star Degree is the highest degree of membership the State FFA Association can award. Connally earned his in 1955.

Among other homecoming activities were alumni volleyball and football games on Friday followed by the pep rally and bonfire at Moran Rodeo Arena.

Other members of the homecoming court included FFA Sweetheart Kacenda Thompkins and FFA Beau Cotten Campbell.

Representatives of the freshman class were Lady in Waiting Emma McCullough and Paige Conner Carey. Representatives of the sophomore class were Duchess Kacenda Thompkins and Duke Max Oliver.

Representatives of the junior class were Princess Aydan Moreno and Prince  Ellis Hise.

Other senior candidates were Terra Thompson, Tyler Hale, Zech Henderson, and Danny O’Keefe.
