After the coronation, the student body was dismissed and decorated their class hallways. The winners of the 2021 Homecoming Hallway contest were the 2022 seniors as they decorated their hall in a Spongebob theme.  On Wednesday, the students were treated to a powderpuff game of football with the senior girls taking on the juniors. Afterward, the boys played a game of peach fuzz volleyball. The week ended with fun and games within the last two hours of classes on Friday. One of the highlights was Nekiesha McGraw’s lip-syncing, which won the competition for the Sophomore class. 

Friday Night’s football game against the Fosston Greyhounds was postposed due to unforeseen circumstances, so the Rebels team played a rotating scrimmage with the entire 5th -12th grade team played in a down pour on the Red Lake Falls Football field.  Fans and students raised money for three families facing childhood cancer with the 50-50 and the Battle of the Bald. Mr. Jason Kenfield had the homecoming court from both schools have the honor of shaving him bald. After the game, Red Lake Falls hosted the annual Homecoming Dance.  It was a Homecoming no one will forget for a very long time. 

Homecoming was planned by the Student Senate, the Class of 2022, and Mr. Randy Huie. At Lafayette High School, Mrs. Briana Ingraham and Ms. Brooke Rusvold planned with Lafayette Student Council and 2022 Seniors.
