HARRISON CITY, Pa. -- Ryan Lynch's classmates say "excited" isn't enough to describe how they -- or Lynch -- felt when he was crowned Penn-Trafford's homecoming king Friday night.
For Lynch, who was diagnosed with autism at age 3, having his classmates pick him to wear the crown was especially meaningful.
"I am happy, joyful and excited that I am king," said Lynch, who escorted homecoming queen Hannah Astley onto the field.
Astley said she was proud to walk with him.
"We all really love Ryan," Astley said. "He's a person everyone wants to be friends with."
