"All-American: Homecoming" returns for its third and final season on The CW Network July 8 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

As a huge fan of "All-American Homecoming," which is a spin-off of "All-American," I've been eagerly counting down the days to discover the fate of Simone Hicks (the terrific Geffri Maya, TV's "Snowfall").

The burning question on everyone's mind: Who will Simone choose as her partner? Will it be the charismatic Damon Sims (Peyton "Alex" Smith), or perhaps Jesse JR Raymond (Sylvester Powell of "Five Points")? And let's not overlook Orlando "Lando" Johnson (Martin Bobb-Semple, "One of Us is Lying"), whose allure as the cocky, yet endearing pitcher, briefly captured Simone's attention too.

Throughout its run, "All-American: Homecoming" has illuminated the vibrant life at HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). This final curtain call promises to deliver a tapestry of drama, weaving in narratives centered around Thea Mays (Camille Hyde, "Mindwash") and Keisha McCalla (Netta Walker, TV's "The Big Leap").

The show's creator Nkechi Okoro Carroll, alongside her team of talented writers, have consistently crafted episodes that resonate deeply with viewers. I'm sure that this season will too. Afterall, Simone faces a pivotal challenge that threatens to derail her tennis aspirations.

The "All-American: Homecoming" finale should be a real doozy. Bidding farewell to this series will be tough. But all good things must come to an end, and "All-American: Homecoming" has been an exceptionally good show; one that transcended the ordinary.

So, as I have from day one, I'll be rooting for Bringston University to the very end. Go Lions!

Editor's Note: Don't miss the premiere of "All-American: Homecoming" on July 8 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), on The CW Network.
