Although it ended with East Tennessee State University Buccaneers outscoring the Furman Paladins 17-30, the hundreds of students, alumni and community members who visited campus for Homecoming Oct. 22-24 would have to call the weekend an overall victory.

Halftime performances by the marching band, cheerleaders and dance team, and the presentation of Homecoming royalty, added to this year’s pleasant memories — no matter what the scoreboard said.
