The Fortuna Huskies’ football team went against the Mckinleyville Panthers and took a win with a score of 34-16. Coach Mike Benbow of the Huskies said that the Fortuna High’s football team played very well. “I think that we came out and did everything they had planned on doing all week, and it was awesome to see so many kids participate and be apart of the win,” states Benbow.

Along with the game, Fortuna High puts on a phenomenal show summing up their homecoming week. This show contains fireworks, a homecoming king and queen reveal, a giant burning F, a night parade with class floats and royalty riding in corvettes. This show brings the community together and makes Fortuna High School unique.
The halftime show takes a lot of time to prepare. What goes into preparing the show as Mrs. Coit, the coordinator of the homecoming halftime show, says is: royalty must be nominated, cars for the royalty have to be found, fireworks have to be bought and set up, the announcer’s script has to be written, there has to be runners to light the F and much more. After all this work, the show gets pulled together.

At the end of the night, Bailey Foley and Haley Benbow were honored Homecoming King and Queen, the firework show went off, the giant F was lit, and the Huskies took a win. “I thought the show was almost perfect!” says Mrs. Coit. Fortuna High’s annual homecoming game and halftime show of 2017 really summed the excitement of their homecoming week.
