Hello Bulldog Nation. It's that exciting time of year when our winter sports all begin their journeys. It's a season where not only our student athletes compete, but so many come to support them from the stands. It is so important that we all do our part to help our Bulldogs compete and we do so while representing our town, school and ourselves with class and the utmost in sportsmanship.
Some thoughts-
1. Respect the officials. We are currently in the middle of a huge game officials shortage in the state. It is serious enough that it threatens our ability to run our contests. The number one reason given in polls officials leaving the profession is that they are sick of the abuse from spectators. Canton- let's be better! Please know that we will have a zero tolerance for fans at our contest who verbally berate officials. You will be asked to leave.
2. Respect our opponents. The contest is on the playing surface...not in the stands. Fans should support our Bulldogs while not putting down our opponents. Negative comments directed at individuals on our opposing teams will not be tolerated. "Our fans are not there to "get in the heads" of our opponents. Have fun. Be proud. Be loud. Be classy.
3. Respect fellow spectators. Fans of other teams are there for the same reason we are- to support their team. Please avoid any negative interaction with fans from other teams.
4. Have fun! Enjoy the games!
