CANEY — The 2009 Caney Valley High School Winter Sports Homecoming Queen and King will be crowned Friday night, Jan. 30, as CVHS basketball teams host the Eureka Tornadoes.

The coronation will take place at the halftime of the varsity men’s basketball game.

Five CVHS senior men and women are vying for the royalty honors. The king candidates are James Albee, Ethan Elsheimer, Kyle Kuehn, Branden Stephens and Brad Terry. Queen candidates are Jessica Larkin, Courtney Lay, Morgan Rolls, Halie Simmons and Lindsey Sims. All candidates are members of winter sports teams or cheerleading squads.

Following the game, CVHS students and their dates are invited to a homecoming dance in the CVHS Cafeteria.

To get students and faculty into the spirit of the week, special activities have been designated for each day. However, inclement weather on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week shut down local schools, thereby putting a dent in spirit week events. On Friday, Jan. 30, students and faculty are encouraged to wear Bullpup apparel to school and the basketball games.
