Welcome to another amusing week inside the Blue and White! The Blue Devils are constantly on their toes with all of the things going on. Each day, there is something new kicking off for the students.
Out for Labor Day, Water Valley High School students returned from a well-needed three-day weekend, and the Lady Devils volleyball teams started the week off strong with a Blue Devil victory! They traveled to Houlka High School to beat the opposing team on their own home court.
It was difficult, considering their student section was roaring with excitement and provided plenty of discouraging words for the Blue Devil teams. The junior varsity and varsity squads overcame and conquered their games against the Houlka Wildcats, leaving their student section in despair and our supporting fans filled with excitement.
Aside from all of the sports action, the senior Class of 2024 made big decisions as they had application day to get them started applying for colleges. The seniors dressed in their futuristic college apparel to show their excitement to apply to their favorite colleges that they one day hope to attend.
The first Interact Club meeting of the year was hosted early Wednesday morning and all of the current members gathered to discuss this year’s plans for the club and how they could be a helpful addition to the community. The Interact Club is a group of young members dedicated to selfless acts of service for the community and is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Water Valley.
Various topics were reviewed during the meeting including community service projects and what it takes to be a club member. The attendees discussed and voted for the officer nominations.
The Interact Club’s 2023-2024 official officers are: President Jake Crawford, Vice President Jenna Trusty, Secretary Evey Brooks, Treasurer Nethanel Dunn, and Sergeant at Arms Summer Webb.
The Interact club prioritizes service so much that it is included in the motto. “Service above self. He profits most who serves the best.”
Community members look forward to seeing the interact club helping out this year with many activities planned for this year’s term!

Homecoming is approaching, and the Water Valley High students are patiently waiting for all of the school activities. A few activities are already in process as the student council released the dress-up days and the overall theme for this year’s homecoming – funky fresh disco.
With all of the homecoming court nominations from grades 9th-12th, the student body from each grade has individually voted to select members of their grade to represent them during homecoming week after lots of anxious waiting.
The 2023 homecoming court maids are: 9th grade homecoming maid Addy Douglas; 10th grade homecoming maid Amari Gooch; 11th-grade homecoming maids Mariya Morgan and Bree Spearman; and 12th-grade homecoming maids Evey Brooks, Ashlyn Darby, Kelly Douglas, and Mya Harden. Come support each maid on September 22, the night of homecoming. Congratulations to each maid for being selected as a representation of their class!
While the Blue Devil football team competed against Baldwyn this past Friday and once again fell short, the team advances minor attributes to help better their final score. The football team is working hard to achieve a victory and will be back in action this Friday night as they take on the Eupora Eagles for the first home game of the season.
Be sure to wear your Blue Devil Blue, as the dress-up theme is “Blue Out.”
The Water Valley High School specially selected competition cheer team held a practice at the Oxford cheer facility this past weekend to develop choreography for the cheer competition that will soon take place. The cheer team is effectively working to create a great routine to shock the judges at the state competition!
This is your weekly update right from within the walls of Water Valley High School!
