Sprague names king, queen

SPRAGUE – A local girl who moved here four years ago from Cheney has been crowned Sprague High School Homecoming queen.

Senior Chloe Melton, 17, moved here in eighth-grade. She is involved in several school clubs including the Environmental Club, Future Farmers of America and trapshooting.

During her free time, she likes to ride horses, trap shoot and play softball. She also likes to hang out with friends, play hide and seek strategy games such as Fugitive, and go to lake bonfires.

Melton admits she had some stiff competition, so she was surprised she got elected as queen.

"I am a hard worker, and when I put my mind to it, I can accomplish things pretty easily," she said adding that it is quite an honor and she is grateful to represent her school.
