Pirates, Falcons are sportsmanship champs

Braden River and Saint Stephen's were among the schools selected for the 2009-10 Florida High School Athletic Association/Fred E. Rozelle Sportsmanship Awards on Wednesday.
Saint Stephen's was named the overall winner in Class 2A and Braden River earned the honor in Class 4A.
The seven classifications were divided into four sections, with the overall winner chosen out of that pool of sectional champs.
The Falcons and Pirates - the Section 3 winner - receive $2,500 and a plaque for winning the overall award. Sectional winners were given $500 and a plaque.
Schools are judged on programs and activities within the school and community that promote sportsmanship, the number and type of unsportsmanlike ejections and the number and type of exceptional sportsmanship reports.
A selection committee reviews the nominees and chooses the winner.
Rozelle is the emeritus commissioner of the FHSAA who worked as the association's executive secretary and commissioner from 1980-91.
