Homecoming 2021 had all the sights: cheerleaders getting ready to hype up the crowd. football players getting ready to bring home the win for homecoming, pep band students getting their instruments ready, and tailgaters enjoying a beautiful Saturday afternoon prior to kickoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a lot of people that were tailgating, and many were excited for the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were a few people that got interviewed and those people are Cancer Milburn, Alexandra Hart, and Cassie Kerckhobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tailgate attendee Cancer Milburn enjoyed being able to tailgate again after time off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe tailgate was more fun than last year was and it\u2019s an amazing experience,\u201d Milburn said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When asked about her favorite tailgate tradition, Milburn really didn\u2019t have one, but she did say \u201cI think it\u2019s awesome seeing the people out here supporting the football game.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow attendee Alexandra Hart said that she enjoys tailgating food and the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI also love the fact that this many people came out to help support our Tigers,\u201d Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hart was the first champion in the high jump during her freshman year for the NCAA<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked if she was excited for the game, Cassie Kerckhobe said \u201cIt should be a really game because Nebraska is 4-0 and Fort Hays is 2-2 but some of the teams that they\u2019ve played and that we\u2019ve played have been pretty close games so it should be really good game.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerckhobe also said that Fort Hays has been a great experience and she loves the school spirit and just the energy that the students bring to the games. Kerckhobe is a part of the band, and she was extremely excited to cheer on Fort Hays Tigers.
