Homecoming streaker stops 'Queen' crowning

Spectators at Friday's Wheeler High football game saw more than the anticipated backfield in motion. They saw a Wheeler High junior take off his clothes and streak across the field, just before the crowning of the homecoming queen and king and their court.

Sophomore Caitlin Pitts, 15, said the boy was naked except for a ski mask. She said the athletic director tried to shadow the streaker in order to intercept him, but the boy darted into a nearby cornfield. After a short chase, a group of parents apprehended the boy.

He was not arrested and a police report has not been filed. Union Township School Board President Terry Boehlke said the crowd reaction varied -- from shock to laughter.

Pitts said the school was abuzz with the news. "It's like the best thing ever to happen at Wheeler," Pitts said. Article here.
