What do basketball, scepters and lovely young ladies escorting handsome young kings have in common? If you guessed Stockbridge Coming Home, you nailed the answer. This year’s event, held Friday, Feb. 17, was aptly themed “We Are One” in recognition of the new and combined Junior/Senior High School facilities.

The event began with a Coming Home pep assembly at the SJSHS. Then at 6 p.m. the Girls Varsity basketball team tipped off the evening, scoring a win against Maple Valley 39-23.
