The homecoming game marked the annual rivalry between the Carbon Dino’s and the Emery Spartan’s. During the homecoming week, Emery High School celebrated this event through many different activities that the student body could participate in. Throughout the week, students could dress out: Monday was camo day; Tuesday was dress as a tourist; Wednesday was flannel day; Thursday was Pajama Day; and Friday was blackout/hat day. On each day prizes were given to the person(s) who had the best outfit.
On Tuesday September 19, students gathered in the Spartan Center to hold a contest for the Mr. and Ms. Emery of the Homecoming dance. The competition ranged from who could scream the loudest to ‘jousting.’ Out of the various couples who entered only three emerged victorious. Drake Hoffman and Abby Blackwell were crowned Mr. and Ms. Emery. First attendants were Morgann Donaldson and Easton Gordon, while second attendants were Samantha Morgan and Brans Petersen. Sept. 21 was the JV/ Freshman Football game against Carbon which they won.
The volleyball game was against Richfield. After the volleyball game, students and family members participated in the annual Beefcake Volleyball.
On Friday Spartans and Spartan fans gathered outside of the school for the Homecoming day parade. The parade started at the Castle Dale Swimming Pool and ended at the Spartan parking lot. Various floats highlighted the Spartan pride including EHS drill team, Robotics Club, Lunch Ladies, Student council, and others.
During half time, the cheerleaders and the drill team performed a routine. After the routine, the 1987 Emery Spartan Football champions were honored and praised.
After the victorious game, crowds of people went into the old gym to play dodgeball. The Homecoming dance was held in the auditorium foyer where couples gathered to dance the night away.
