SWANSBORO, N.C. -- The crowd erupted in cheers during Swansboro High School’s homecoming game, but it wasn’t over a great play on the field. It was over the newly crowned homecoming king and queen.
Junior Jordan Rogers and Senior Brittney McGee, both 17, walked across the football field to accept their new royal roles as Pirate fans applauded the school’s pick.
The queen had won their loyalty; the king had won their hearts.
When Brittney won the nomination for homecoming court, she wasn’t sure who to pick for an escort. Her mom suggested using the opportunity to do something special for someone else.
Brittney knew that out of every guy in the school, there was only one perfect choice.
"I thought of Jordan," she said.
Diagnosed with autism and cerebral palsy at age 2, Jordan’s mom Jenny Rogers, said doctor’s told her his future was limited.
