Dunwoody Homecoming Court inspires through gridiron defeat

Dunwoody High School Homecoming King Max Quartararo and Queen Hannah Hazen accept their honors at halftime of the Sept. 20 game against the Lakeside Vikings.
DUNWOODY, Ga. — While the Dunwoody Wildcats lost a heartbreaker against Lakeside Sept. 20, the 2024 Homecoming Court buoyed the high school’s spirit. Dunwoody fell to 1-4 on the season after losing 34-31 in a nailbiter against the visiting Vikings. After a win to start the season in the Corky Kell & Dave Hunter Classic Aug. 15, the Wildcats have dropped four straight. Two of the losses have been against regional opponents by just four combined points. The Dunwoody High School community elected seniors Max “Q” Quartararo and Hannah Hazen as the 2024 Dunwoody Homecoming King and Queen. Hazen, a varsity cheerleader, was diagnosed with malignant cancer as a middle schooler and endured treatments throughout her adolescent years. Today, Hazen is celebrating two full cancerfree years. In her free time, Hazen enjoys cheerleading, being with friends and volunteering time at charity organizations. Max Quartararo, a New York City native and Dunwoody’s 2024 Homecoming King, hurt his knee during his sophomore year in a football game. After taking a year off from football and basketball, Quartararo completed his rehabilitation. His mother, Leah Quartararo, said doctors discovered a flaw in her son’s patella, which required surgery and overcoming mental health challenges. “Both these kids are truly inspirations,” Quartararo said. “The DHS Homecoming Court included such amazing kids from many different backgrounds, [and] we showed up as an amazing school with amazing diversity and community.”
