October 4 marked the beginning of a memorable homecoming weekend for the Wildcats! It began with the announcement of the homecoming court and seniors Zahir Bolden and Emma Kot being crowned our Homecoming King and Queen.
The varsity football team then played a hard-fought game against Chenango Valley in front of a large hometown crowd at Wildcat Stadium.
At halftime, the Johnson City Marching Wildcats put on an impressive field show, followed by the introduction of the Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2024. To cap off the evening, everyone enjoyed a fireworks display, made possible by the generosity of JC alumnus Adam Comfort.
On Saturday, the newest members of the athletic hall of fame were inducted at a formal dinner ceremony at Traditions at the Glen. Ryan Clark (Class of 2012), Bernadette “Bunny” (Clarke) McGovern (Class of 1978), Colleen (Clarke) Petrick (Class of 2006) Mark C. Collins (Class of 1983), Larry Rowe (former JC Superintendent and coach), Thomas Tokos (Class of 1987), and the Johnson City 1971 Football Team were inducted. We would like to thank Matthew Klimow (JC Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2008) for serving as the keynote speaker, as well as high school students Kentony DeJesus, Annabel Burke, Emery Guzyk, Anthony Mazzatti, and Tyshan Rowland for doing a great job introducing this year’s newest members and speaking about the inductees.
To cap off the homecoming weekend festivities, the high school held a Saturday night Homecoming Dance at the high school. It was a great weekend of Wildcat pride!
