Yanna Johnson, a Marengo County native, was crowned homecoming queen of Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 12.

She knew that the student body had nominated her for a spot on the homecoming court, but she did not know that she had garnered the top honor of being named homecoming queen until the announcement at halftime of the basketball game.

A native of Gallion and a 2012 graduate of Demopolis High School, Johnson is a sophomore working toward a double major in culinary arts and wellness exercise.
