There was a sea of green Thursday night in the Dawg House as students, parents, alumni and the Mesquite community joined to honor fall sports seniors and homecoming royalty. There was pretty much standing room only when the VVHS Percussion Band warmed up the enthusiastic crowd. Savannah Wilson got the ball rolling by introducing the Middle School Dancers who performed for the assembly. Lee then introduced school councilor Justin Ludvigson, MC who took over the microphone and continued the evening’s program.

Ludvigson then introduced individual seniors, with their parents, who participated in fall sports, tennis, soccer, football, girl’s golf, cross country and volleyball. Of course certain seniors received huge cheers from their school mates. The program continued with the VVHS drill team led by Leah Leavitt and Taylor Bulloch who performed a routine to the delight of the crowd.
