Damaris Martinez, having just been crowned 2022 Bobcats Homecoming Queen makes a speech full of thanks to all who've supported her.

At a coronation and pep rally held on the field at Hope High School's Hammons Stadium the 2022 Homecoming Queen Damaris Martinez was issued her tiara.

After the crowning, Martinez was given a microphone and spoke to the attendees: "I'm a little scared so ... I want to thank God to begin with because I wouldn't be here if he weren't by my side. I want to thank my family for always supporting me and always loving me. Especially the teachers for not giving up on me, even though I'm hard-headed, so I pay attention in class. I'm so happy to be your queen. I love everyone here and I hope you all have a good night tonight."

Leading up the coronation, Senior Bobcat football players were presented in spiffy suits to the sizable crowd and gave tokens of appreciation to their parents. Then the Homecoming Court Maids, dressed in white tulle dresses were also presented and then gave ribbons to parents.
