Central Valley students take home the Stinky Sneaker.

They started on Thursday night with the Stinky Sneaker between Central Valley and University. Central Valley won the coveted Stinky Sneaker for the best fan participation and sportsmanship as well as the CV boys game, while the U-Hi girls won their game. HSGametime loved U-Hi Girls' Coach Mark Stinson in a cape, which we thought would give the Titans the Sneaker, but the judges disagreed.
