Rockbridge County High School was one of 116 schools recognized last week by the Virginia High School League for outstanding sportsmanship during the 2022-23 spring season. As announced by the VHSL in a press release on Monday of last week, these schools had no player or coach ejections, nor were their programs placed on warning status.
Dr. John W. “Billy” Haun, Ed.D., executive director of the VHSL, commended the players, coaches, administrators and fans who contributed to this achievement. “We are extremely proud of all the players, coaches, administrators, and fans who worked very hard to make this happen,” he said. “Each school and community should be proud to be on this honor roll. Sportsmanship reflects positively on the individuals, schools, and communities.”
Haun also encouraged all VHSL member schools to aim for the 2023-24 honor roll. “VHSL activities are an extension of the classroom, and instilling sportsmanship is one of the most significant skills we can teach our studentathletes,” he said. “Let us celebrate this spring’s VHSL Sportsmanship Honor Roll and continue to promote sportsmanship in all VHSL activities.”
