Southern University Lab School Homecoming 2019

On the week before Southern University’s own homecoming, the neighboring Southern Lab Kittens had their own week of homecoming activities. 
The festivities, including their parade featuring appearances from the school’s royal court and performances from their own marching band, went as scheduled. The band played multiple songs and marched throughout the campus last week.
“I was confused by their colors at first, because normally you don’t see those colors marching around on campus,” said Paizley Armstrong, a senior English major. “They actually sound pretty good when you consider all of them are teenagers and some of them were probably in middle school last year,” continued Armstrong. 
Many other events scheduled however were subject to time changes due to inclement weather that was expected throughout the day on Friday. “Unfortunately, the majority of our student body could not attend the volleyball game because they were involved in cheer, dance, band, and football,” said Re’shonsi Smart, SGA Sponsor and Homecoming Coordinator.
Smart continued on to say that the students still managed to have a good time regardless of the circumstances. 
Some of the events rescheduled included the Pep Rally and the actual game itself, which was moved to Thursday at 7:00 pm. The Kittens won their homecoming game vs Thrive Academy by a score of 63-0. Out of all the events, the Alumni Tailgate was the only event that was forced to be canceled due to the weather. Normally, alumni would park near the mini dome and cook food in advance of the game. Due to the cancellation, the Alumni were invited to the game to see the Kittens claim a dominant homecoming victory. 
Fallout from the aforementioned weather forecast lasted throughout most of Friday as predicted, although no heavy flooding was reported during the forecast period near Southern University’s campus.
