North Attleborough will receive the Sportsmanship Banner

for the 2007-2008 season!!

It is with great pleasure that I announce that North Attleborough will receive the Sportsmanship Banner for the 2007-2008 year.  In the 4 years since its' origination, North has finished first twice and second twice.  This is an indication of the efforts made by our coaching staff to role model the concept that "how you play the game" really matters.  It takes significant effort to combine the competitive spirit that makes you want to win every game with the graciousness that must accompany the reality that to do so is most often impossible.

 

It also takes mature coaches who are capable of understanding that it is only through being tested by our league opponents that our own athletes and coaches are able to elevate their own play and thus be appreciative and respectful of them.

 

You should all be proud of your efforts, particularly as you have helped instill in our athletes the ability to compete with the proper balance of intensity and dignity.  These values will serve them well.

 

In deepest appreciation of all of your efforts,

 

Paul Sullivan
Athletic Director
North Attleboro High School
