Wiscasset High School was welcomed home for the 53rd time Saturday, Sept. 20, but the various events continue throughout the week.

On Saturday, there was a homecoming dance and the crowning of the king and queen.

The rest of the week will feature themed days to show off Wiscasset school spirit.

Monday is pajama day, Tuesday is mismatch day, Wednesday is beach day, Thursday is twins day and Friday will cap the themed days with red and black day. At 2 p.m. on Friday there will be a spirit assembly in the gym, complete with a tug-of-war.

On Saturday, Sept. 27, the festivities start at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast hosted by the booster’s at the high school cafeteria until 10 a.m., and recreational soccer during the morning. The activities continue with the classes decorating the bleachers at noon, then continuing with a tailgate party in the back parking lot at the school from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., at which time the middle school will have a soccer game at the upper field.

After the tailgate party, the boosters’ vintage auction will start at 3 p.m. before the national anthem at 3:55 p.m. and boys varsity soccer takes on Monmouth at 4 p.m.

After the boys game, but before the girls team takes on Monmouth, the Wiscasset Heat Cheerleaders will give a performance, then the Wolverines will face the Mustangs at 6 p.m.

Both Wiscasset squads will have their hands full with a tough Monmouth Academy program. Monmouth's boys team (3-1 overall record) currently occupies sixth-place in Western Class C, while Wiscasset (1-3 overall) is in 12th place in the same division.

The Monmouth girls team is equally stout; the team has a sterling 5-0 record in Western Class C where it sits in second place, behind only Madison Area Memorial High School. After suffering its first loss of the year September 16 at Hall-Dale, the Wiscasset Wolverines (3-1) are in ninth place in Western Class C.

Following the game, there will be a bonfire until 9 p.m. and the snack shack will be open throughout the festivities.
