The blindfolded candidates for Hillsboro High School homecoming king received a surprise kiss from their mothers during the annual downtown pep rally Friday afternoon. The three candidates shown here are (from left) Lucas Sinclair, Tyler Proffitt and Dylan Jirak. At the crowning ceremony prior to the Hillsboro-Remington football game, Harry Faber was announced as king and Peyton Loewen as queen. Loewen had to miss the pep rally because she was playing in the Class 3-2-1A regional tennis tournament in town.
