CCU’s 2017 Homecoming King and Queen announced, other results

The 2017 Homecoming theme for Coastal Carolina University was “Thank Goodness It’s Coastal.” Following are winners in various categories.

Kevon Young-Reaves, a senior information technology and information systems duel major, and Morgan Howder, a junior communication major, were crowned king and queen at Coastal Carolina University's Homecoming festivities.
