2018-19 Fall Bulldog Captains were presented the Sportsmanship Award by the Hockomock for 2017/18 school year |
The Hock Sportsmanship Award winner is determined annually using a point system based upon how the coaches of each of the league's sports vote on the level of sportsmanship displayed by each team. The top three vote-getting teams in each sport are awarded points which go toward an overall tally. At year's end, the tallies are added up and we are so proud that this year, the Bulldogs came out on top.
"It was a key pre-school year goal for our coaching staff to go out and set a sporting, classy tone that could possibly result in this honor this year," explained CHS Athletic Director Danny Erickson. "It is a great feeling to know that our coaching staff set such a positive, sporting, classy tone while our student athletes handled themselves with such great sportsmanship both in the arena of competition and in the stands. It is a proud moment for me and should be for all Bulldogs."
It took many acts of sportsmanship- both large and small- over the entire school year to be honored with this award. Every handshake, cheer, extended hand, slap on the back, kind word, and biting of tongue led to this award.
Special shout out to the following individual programs for earning top recognition in their respective sport towards this honor- Softball, Wrestling, Girls Basketball, Girls Hockey and Boys Soccer.
