Boonville High School is one of 193 schools in Indiana that were named to IHSAA All-Sportsmanship List. With the conclusion of the high school fall sports season, the IHSAA is pleased to announce the schools who have achieved the state’s highest sportsmanship numbers. Beginning this year, the Association is recognizing schools’ sportsmanship and adherence to the principles of wholesome amateur athletics in this new way. As part of the Association’s continuing Sportsmanship/Leadership program, school administrators are able to monitor their score daily on the member schools-only myIHSAA website. Those schools who have accumulated 100 points are recognized as “First Team All-Sportsmanship” and those with 95 points are recognized as “Honorable Mention All-Sportsmanship”. Each member school begins the school year with 100 points. Points may be accumulated through teams completing an online NFHS Sportsmanship Course, parental meetings, student attendance at fall principals’ meetings and other leadership opportunities and submitted exemplary sportsmanship reports to name a few. Points are deducted by contest ejections of players, coaches, administrators, and fans. “We want to acknowledge and congratulate those schools who have exemplified sportsmanship as indicated by their sportsmanship scores,” says IHSAA Commissioner Paul Neidig. “We will be recognizing schools at the end of the winter and spring seasons as well and we hope this encourages schools to celebrate those programs in their school who show exemplary sportsmanship.”
