With fall almost officially upon the region, the time for homecoming is near.

Wiscasset Middle High School will host its homecoming activities this weekend with a pair of games, a dance, and a new wrinkle this year.

On Friday, Sept. 25, there will be a spirit rally at the high school at 1:50 p.m. and the homecoming dance will be at 8 p.m. and run until 11 p.m.

This year, several Wiscasset town officials and middle high school staff members will likely get doused to benefit the Wiscasset Boosters Club.

The Boosters club announced that it will host a dunk tank and will be selling three shots at dunking a well-known face for $1.

Beginning Saturday, participants will have a chance to soak several Wiscasset notables, including Boosters President Gordon Campbell from noon to 12:30 p.m., Middle High School Principal Cheri Towle from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., Middle High School French teacher Eva Castor from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., teacher and girls basketball coach Ben Clark from 1:30 p.m. to 2 p.m., teacher and tennis coach Chris Hammond from 2 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and Wiscasset Fire Chief TJ Merry from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m..

After people get out of the tank, the Wolverines will have games to play against a pair of tough opponents.

The Wiscasset girls team will kick off the action with a game against visiting Mountain Valley High School at 5 p.m.

The Wolverines (1-5) will have a tall task in front of them if they wish to knock off the high-flying Falcons. The Class B South Falcons (2-2) are in 13th place in their division but only points away from a playoff berth.

Wiscasset's boys team (0-5) will try to get back on the winning path when they host Mountain Valley (5-1) on Saturday at 7 p.m. Mountain Valley is currently in third place in the loaded Class B South division, behind only first-place Yarmouth (6-0) and second-place Maranacook (5-0).

The games will be played at the high school field, located at 272 Gardiner Road.
