This week’s Hornet Spotlight also shines on Hornet

Senior Tre’von White. Tre’von

has been passionately involved

with football and basketball

during the course of his entire

high school career. He also par-

ticipated in track and field his

10th grade year. When Tre’von is not helping bring the

Hornet football team to victory or shooting hoops for

the Hornet basketball team, you can catch him serving

as a dedicated member of the Fellowship of Christian

Athletes. His devotion to the FCA has led him to be an

honored member all throughout his high school years.

In his spare time, Tre’von enjoys working out, watching

sports, and spending time with friends. Tre’von pro-

claims Mrs. Bulloch as his favorite teacher because she

continuously pushes him to his best potential in every-

thing he chooses to do. After high school, Tre’von is

anticipating going to the University of Georgia to study

Sports Medicine. Good luck, Tre’von!

This week’s Hornet Spotlight shines brightly on Hornet Senior

Brittney Hirsch. Brittney has been actively involved with the

softball team her entire high school career and has played a

part in the tennis team since her 10th grade year. When

Brittney is not sliding into home for the Lady Hornet softball

team or hustling on the court for the Hornet tennis team, you

can find Brittney working studiously to ace all of her tough

courses at PHS. Brittney’s scholarly work ethic has resulted in

her being a proud member of the Beta Club since her 10th

grade year. During her 9th and 10th grade years, she was an

active member of the FFA. In her spare time, Brittney likes to

hang out with her friends. Brittney declares Dr. Boyd as her

favorite teacher because he makes learning interesting and has

taught her to strive for her dreams

no matter the obstacle. After high

school, Brittney is exploring the

possibility of getting her masters in

nursing at Valdosta State University

or Kennesaw State University. Good

luck, Brittney!

Homecoming Court

On Wednesday, PHS students in each grade nominated homecoming

representatives to represent their class. The nominee chosen must be passing all her classes and have no discipline record. During homeroom, the students had to write down one young lady’s name

of their choice, and three reasons they were nominating this student. They will vote for them during their lunch once they have all the nominees. In grades 9th – 11th there will be two young ladies to participate, while in the 12th grade, there will be four. Congratula-

tions to the nominees!

MCYAC Sunday, September 29, MCYAC had their annual retreat in Camilla. They discussed their upcoming events and did fun activities as well.

Mrs. Alyssa has a group of pleasing members this year. These students are supportive and lend out a helping hand around the Mitchell

County communities. MCYAC and MCPEP will be doing visual presentations at the Wildlife Festival to show people the negative effects that drugs and alcohol can cause.

The Buzz has started a new feature called “Best Friends of the Month.”

Mrs. Whigham and Mrs.

Prince were selected this

month; they met in the

sixth grade and have been

best friends ever since.

Mrs. Prince attended

Washington Middle, and

Mrs. Whigham attended

Shiver. The two schools

shared a band, and since they were both in band, that is how they became

best friends. They both agree they can count on each other through the

good and bad, and by being best friends, they always have someone to

talk to. Other than working at the same school, they spend a lot of time

together. They recently spent the weekend in Athens, and this weekend

they will be traveling to Savannah to attend a wedding. They also cele-

brate holidays together, and they enjoy going to Panama City Beach

where they have family and mutual friends. The best family trip they have

ever taken was several years ago when they went to Las Vegas over

Thanksgiving. They also have a monthly appointment in Tallahassee

where they get their nails done, and about a month ago they got perma-

nent eyeliner. Although they have much in common, they are very differ-

ent. Whereas Mrs. Prince is extremely organized and punctual, Mrs.

Whigham tends to be less so. They do not seriously argue about anything;

they just pick on each other about stuff sometimes. When asked if there

was anything they really dislike about each other, Mrs. Whigham said,

“Look at Mrs. Prince’s hair, and look at mine. Enough said.” Mrs. Prince

said she can not stand when Mrs. Whigham insists that Mr. Bob Marley

needs to accompany them on their adventures. She said that Mrs.

Whigham is high maintenance enough; they certainly do not need to bring

along a Maltipoo who barks continuously. When asked what they love

about each other, Mrs. Prince said that Mrs. Whigham makes her laugh;

she can read her mind on most issues; she is her biggest cheerleader, and

she will drop everything and come to her rescue if she needed it. Mrs.

Whigham calls Mrs. Prince the sister she never had. Congratulations on

being our first Best Friends feature. You two deserve it!

Hornet Football

The Pelham Hornets football team played against the Fitzgerald Hurri-canes on Sept. 27th. The Hornets lost 0-24, but played hard the entire

game. The Hornets do not have a game tonight which gives them time to prepare for the next big game against Cook County. Good Luck PHS

Hornets!

Cross Country

Congratulations to the cross country team for winning their dual cross country meet against Early County on October 1st. For the girls, Mon-

ica Webb placed first, McKenzie Smith-second, Cheyenne Brooks-fifth, and Marisol Aboytes-eighth. For the boys, Guthrie Edwards placed first, Brett Bailey-second, Chris Burroughs-fourth, Daniel Smith-fifth, and Joel Barrios-eighth.

The Lady Hornets ended their season Tuesday, October 1st.

The girls had a long but productive season. It was a bittersweet

night for the seniors as they played their last PHS softball

game. Seniors Brittney Hirsch, Courtney Hilliard, Rebecca

Smith, Lacey Brogren, and Jamison Glass influenced the team

tremendously and will be missed. We wish them the very best

in their future endeavors.
