The second annual Big Man on Campus, hosted by the International Thespian Society, took place May 3.

Campus clubs chose one boy to represent their organization in a beauty pageant.

The show started off with the boys performing a dance number to many famously womanized songs

The show then progressed into the first category known as “Sports Wear” where guys were expected to display their first outfit of the night.

The next category was talents. The guys arranged performances ranging from lip syncing to poetry.

The next category was the formal dress and questionnaire round. As they walked the stage the hosts told the audience facts about the contestants’ dating lives.

Junior Jacob Matassa was crowned Mr. Heart Throb for his jar containing $162 in donations.

Second runner up was senior Randy Points. Points wore a monkey costume for sportswear, sang “Follow Me” by Uncle Kracker for his talent and wore a nice suit for his formal wear.

First runner up was senior Bryan Homechanh-Nguyen. Nguyen wore his JROTC exercise uniform for sports wear, read his own poetry to the crowd for talent, and wore a pink floral dress and wig for formal wear.

And the winner of Big Man on Campus was, Heart Throb winner, Jacob Matassa. Matassa wore a Wylie ISD athletics shirt with white leggings and shorts, sang “If I were a boy” by Beyonce, and wore nice blue slacks with a blue flannel button down.

Matassa’s talent act “If I were a boy” stole the crowds’ hearts and ultimately won him the award of Big Man on Campus.
