Western Albemarle Homecoming 2026

The Warriors celebrated homecoming October 2 with a variety of activities. There was the pep rally in the gym with the requisite competition between the classes where the seniors were expected to win, of course. A large number of student groups and organizations participated in the Tailgate Fun Fair in the parking lot outside the stadium the afternoon before the game. Even though the evening was peppered with the occasional rain shower, the Crozet community came out in large numbers to be part of the event. There was a large and lively student presence in the stands cheering both the celebration as well as the football team on the field. While the football team had a strong first half, the offensive push by Fluvanna in the second half was too much to overcome, the Warriors falling 40-13 by the end of the game. 

During halftime, royalty from each class was announced while the chosen were crowned and recognized at mid-field. The students chosen for the royal court included: Freshmen Keller Herndon, Will Rader, Brooklyn Weaver and Ada Jane Davis; sophomores Brady Sowers, Cole Wood, Will Surratt and Maddie Farber; Juniors Parker Envall, Emmy Driver, Ellie Winn and Angie Newsome; and seniors Lauren Luna, Kennedy MacCleery, Sarah Jane Broadbent, Nobel Cooper, Ava Hawkes, Olivia Blakey, Charlie Alexander, and Jackson Isley.
