OBU will honor outstanding seniors in the annual Harvest Court ceremony Saturday, Nov. 8, during halftime of the OBU Bison football game versus Bacone College. The game will begin at 1 p.m. The event is part of OBU's homecoming celebration happening on campus throughout the weekend.

Senior students were nominated by their peers in six different categories: harvest king, harvest queen, best all-around male, best all-around female, most servant-like male and most servant-like female. The student body will vote Monday, Nov. 3, on the finalists, and the winners will be announced during the Harvest Court ceremony.
