Crittenden County High School has shifted its Homecoming Week schedule after a shortage of referees forced the football game to be moved up a day.
The Rockets will now play their Homecoming game Thursday, Oct. 2, at Rocket Stadium. Festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. on the field with kickoff at 7 p.m. The game had originally been scheduled for Friday.
Because of the change, the Homecoming parade will roll Wednesday, Oct. 1. Organizers said they preferred Monday or Tuesday to avoid conflicts with church services, but the girls’ volleyball team has a home match Monday and the girls’ soccer team travels to Paducah on Tuesday. The parade lineup will start at 4 p.m., and the procession begins at 5 p.m. It is expected to last about 30 minutes.
The banana split eating contest will still be held at 5:30 p.m. Monday outside Rocket Arena. The girls’ Powderpuff football game has been moved to Friday at 6 p.m. at Rocket Stadium, with freshmen playing seniors in the opener followed by sophomores against juniors. Winners will meet in a final game.
The Homecoming dance for high school students will be Saturday, Oct. 4, from 8 to 11 p.m. in the multi-purpose room.
