Churchill County High School’s homecoming week is already in full swing, with students showing their spirit through themed dress-up days and community events.
The celebration opened Monday with the annual downtown parade and the traditional Powderpuff football game, where the junior and senior girls battled under the lights. Tuesday and Wednesday brought more spirit days and the Lip Sync Battle, while Thursday featured the Homecoming Assembly in the morning and a drive-in movie at 8:15 p.m.
All of it builds to the Friday night game, when the Greenwave football team takes the spotlight in their homecoming matchup against the Dayton Dust Devils at the Edward Arciniega Athletic Complex. Fans are encouraged to pack the stands with green and white apparel for the 7 p.m. kickoff.
Homecoming week wraps up Saturday with the Galena Marching Band Competition during the day and the dance from 8–10 p.m.
This year, CCHS implemented new eligibility requirements for attending the homecoming dance, aimed at keeping the event safe and positive. Students must have no more than two unexcused absences, maintain a 2.0 grade point average with no more than one failing grade, and be free of recent suspensions or behavior contracts. Each student completed a Dance Eligibility Form signed by their seminar teacher before purchasing a ticket.
The Greenwave enter the homecoming game at 6–0, following a 42-7 victory over Spring Creek in their most recent outing. Earlier in the season, Churchill County decimated Truckee 42-0 and has outscored its first four opponents 173–6, making them the team to watch in the 3A. In their Sept. 12 game, the Greenwave shut out Sparks 49–0, underscoring the team’s dominance on both sides of the ball.
That run gives Churchill confidence going into Friday’s battle and a hopeful homecoming season.
