For a second year in a row, the Voorhees High School athletic program has received the NJSIAA Sportsmanship Award for the Skyland Conference-Raritan Division for the 2012-2013 school year.
Voorhees High School was selected for the NJSIAA Sportsmanship Award based on feedback from opponent schools in the Skyland Conference that competed against Voorhees in athletic contests. At the end of each sports season, coaches in each conference in the state are asked to rate their experiences with opposing schools. Coaches give each school a score of 1 to 5 (poor sportsmanship to outstanding sportsmanship), which should encompass the behaviors of the coach, athletes and spectators of the opposing school. The overall feedback received from the fall, winter and spring seasons then determines which school in each conference and each division has shown the most sportsmanship for the school year.
“The athletic department and the entire Voorhees community are very proud about winning this award for a second year in a row. It is a testament to our athletes, coaches and fans being a proud representation of Voorhees High School and what interscholastic athletics is all about,” said Al Stumpf, Athletic Director of Voorhees High School.
In addition to Voorhees High School, Bridgewater-Raritan High School won the NJSIAA Sportsmanship Award for the Skyland Conference-Delaware Division and Mount Saint Mary Academy won for the Skyland Conference-Valley Division.
