MHS sets homecoming court, parade
Sep. 14—McAlester High School set its homecoming court and parade schedule for this year.
The school's homecoming parade is set for 6 p.m. Sept. 20 with the homecoming queen to be announced prior to the Sept. 23 football game set for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
McAlester's homecoming parade is set to start at 6 p.m. Sept. 20 and follow a route along Choctaw Avenue starting from Fifth Street and going to Second Street.
Homecoming queen candidates and their escorts will again ride in vehicles along the route.
If the Tuesday event is cancelled due to weather, the school has a backup date for the parade to start at the same time Thursday.
Students will vote this week on who will be named the homecoming queen.
The ceremony recognizing candidates and culminating with the crowning of the queen is set to start at 6:15 p.m. Friday at Hook Eales Stadium — just before the Buffaloes kickoff against Tulsa Memorial at 7 p.m.
District officials invited people to show school spirit at the festivities.
This year's ceremonial flower girl is Kinsley Price, daughter of Mark and Jamie Price, and the crown bearer is Ben Owen, son of Jarrod and Courtney Owen.
