Officials can display Random Acts of Sportsmanship (RAS) too!  That was the case the first week of the basketball season when Sacred Heart played at St. Bridget.  The parents of the 3rd grade girls from Sacred Heart recognized the great sportsmanship displayed by the officials, Linda Watson and Josh Spuhls.  This was the first basketball game for most of the girls on the court.  The officials took time to explain their calls and help the girls better understand the game.  Basketball can be confusing and intimidating when you first start playing, but Linda and Josh insured these girls had a positive introduction to the game. 

We usually think of players being good sports to their opponents, but it can be with teammates too.  Our Lady of Guadalupe 8th grade player, Marnae Brown demonstrated that at her game on Saturday, January 14th.  Teammate Chyna Moore had broken her leg in practice, but came in her wheelchair to cheer her teammates on.  Way to go Chyna.  After halftime, as the team went into their huddle for last minute instructions, Marnae asked her team to move the huddle over to where Chyna was sitting in her wheelchair, so she could be included.  Congrats to Marnae, Chyna and all the players on the Our Lady of Guadalupe 8th grade basketball team for showing great sportsmanship to your teammates.

We invite all CYC players, coaches, officials and all fans to e-mail Buzz detailing any and all the Random Acts of Sportsmanship (RAS) you see, to buzzswanston@archstl.org .   See a Good Sport and Be a Good Sport!
