West Linn High School Homecoming...

Submitted by Theresa Crough on Mon, 2009-09-28 02:29

West Linn High School's Homecoming was a little early this year, which meant no wind, rain or storms up above. 

The evening started with the annual Carnival and a parade down "A" Street, led by the marching band, cheer leaders and the Debutantes. 

The half-time show crowned the King and Queen, and the evening was perfect, with the win - 48 to 7!

Go Lions!
