Middle Schools Honored for Sportsmanship

Twelve WCPSS middle schools in five different conferences earned Fall Sports Season Sportsmanship Banners. The banners will be presented to the schools at the Dec. 4 athletic director meeting.

The schools included Holly Ridge and Lufkin Road in Southern (Division 1); Davis Drive, East Cary and Salem in Southern (Division 2); Carnage, Ligon and Martin in Central; Wake Forest-Rolesville and Wendell in Northern (Division 1); and East Millbrook and West Millbrook in Northern (Division 2). East Cary and Salem were tied after a vote of Southern (Division 2) athletic directors. Both schools will display sportsmanship banners during the winter sport season.

WCPSS Athletic Director Bobby Guthrie said he received comments about the sportsmanship winners such as:

• Friendliness of the coaching staff


• Good on-field sportsmanship by players and coaches


• Made visiting teams feel welcome


• Very polite athletes


• Coaches demonstrated sportsmanship, and players followed their example


• Assisting with injured athletes


• Parents cheered for both teams, no booing heard


• Great team spirit


• Students athletes respectful


• Good pregame communication


• Coaches had a genuine concern for not running up the score
