Lovell High School principal Scott Orremba presented cross country runner

High School Activities Association for his sportsmanlike behavior shown at the
2A West Regional cross country meet held earlier this year.
Lovell athletes and coaches honored
with good sportsmanship awards
BY PATTI CARPENTER
Colin May was present-
ed with a Wyoming High
School Activities Association
(WHSAA) certificate of good
sportsmanship for his sports-
manlike behavior shown at
the 2A West Regional cross
country meet held on Oct.
13. The award was present-
ed by Lovell High School
Principal Scott O'Tremba
at the District No. 2 school
board meeting on Monday
night. O'Tremba presented
the award to May and read
the comments of the officials
who chose May for the award
to the school board. WHSAA
officials were impressed that
May shook hands with the
meet officials at the end of
the competition and waited
at the end of the race to con-
gratulate each runner who
crossed the finish line.
"That was a pretty out-
standing job," commented
O'Tremba. "It was a great
show of good sportsmanship
on Colin's part. I've seen
Colin compete through the
years and this is really typi-
cal of Colin, and it was great
to see him recognized for
this."
Lovell High School's foot-
ball coach Doug Hazen ac-
cepted three certificates of
good sportsmanship on be-
half of the football team at the
same meeting. The awards
were for both the football
team and the coaching staff
for their good sportsmanship
shown in the past month at
the Big Piney, Thermopolis
and Burns games.
Officials were especial-
ly impressed with how well
both the coaches and play-
ers handled a few "unfor-
tunate calls against them"
during the Burns game. Of-
ficials noted that rather than
complaining about the calls,
the coaches went back to the
team and coached them to a
successful victory.
School Supt. Dan Coe
and O'Tremba presented the
certificates to Hazen. Board
members discussed the im-
portance of good sportsman-
ship in athletic activities.
They also congratulated Ha-
zen and his team for winning
the state football champion-
ship title and for their con-
tinuous show of good sports-
manship along the way to
that victory.
Earlier this school year
senior Steven Pickett was
named by WHSAA for his ex-
emplary conduct during the
football game against Pine-
dale held on Sept. 9.
"I think these awards
show that our coaches are
modeling good sportsman-
ship from leadership to as-
sistants to players," said
O'Tremba. "What these play-
ers do on the field is an exam-
ple of what we would like to
see all of our players do. It's
easy to cheer for coaches and
players who behave so well
and demonstrate winning
in a fashion that we are all
proud of. They have proved
that we can win and be good
sports at the same time."
Coe added, "I don't know
that there is another team in
the state that can say that
during the course of that
year, with 54 kids on the
team, they got three good
sportsmanship awards for
the entire team and their
coaches. That just typifies
the good character and the
good sportsmanship and role
modeling from our coaching
staff and students that is ex-
emplary."
