Tickets are on sale for the The Conway Athletic Awards Commission's banquet on Jan. 25, where several Conway sports figures will be honored.
Former University of Central Arkansas quarterback Bobby Tiner will be presented the 2008 Elijah Pitts Award for career achievement. He will be introduced by Vance Strange.
Nathan Brown, UCA's record-setting quarterback from last season, will be presented the 2008 Marvin Delph Award for sportsman of the year. UCA coach Clint Conque will accept the award for him because Brown will be unable to attend because of preparation for the upcoming NFL draft.

Proceeds from the banquet will be donated to the Che Jones transplant fund.
