This award was based on the following criteria: GPA, sports participation, community activities, specific honors, a typed essay, and recommendations from inside the school and the community. The regional winners will be honored with a luncheon and a plaque on May 6th. 
The BOC selected one winner from each region. If a student was nominated for the award, that means that they were the winner from their district and will receive a certificate of recognition from the SIJHSAA.
These winners, as well as all of the applicants for this award, reflect the true meaning of the SIJHSAA motto which states, "Your reputation can be made,or even destroyed in a moment. Your character is developed over a lifetime." These student athletes have worked extremely hard to get to where they are now and I am sure that they are destined for even greater things in the future. 
The SIJHSAA would like to thank Baysinger Architects for their help in sponsoring this award.

Rick Franklin Coaching Longevity Award

 

Dear SIJHSAA Member School AD's:
 
Beginning with this year, the SIJHSAA will be giving out the Rick Franklin Longevity Award.  The Rick Franklin Longevity Award is an award that recognizes coaches that have been coaching for at least 20 years in the same district.  Schools will be able to honor coaches 5 years retroactive from this year.   (That means coaches that have retired within the last 5 years may be honored) Please check out the criteria to see if your applicant qualifies.  If your applicant meets all of the criteria, fill out the form and follow the instructions on the form.
 
The award will be sent to the school and the school can decide how they want to present the award.  For example, at halftime of a basketball game or at a school board meeting just to name a couple.  Please realize that after filling out the form, confirming the information, sending it to our trophy provider, and sending it to your school, can take a little time.  So have this in mind when you are giving the award.
 
Also, the SIJHSAA would like pictures taken of the award presentation and e-mailed to Geff Purcell (geff@americana.com) and Greg Hale (sijhsaa@gmail.com) so we can put them on our website. (Please ID your pictures)

By Law - Article IV: Contests - Section 6: During all Regional and State contests the SIJHSAA prohibits the use of all types of noise-makers, confetti, radios, shakers, rally towels, thunder sticks, camera lights, laser lights, and also tripods in the stands.  Signs must be no larger than a legal sized sheet of paper.(8 1/2 X 14)  Body painting materials shall not be administered at games or containers brought on game sites.  Body paint may be worn on arms and the face.  Appropriate shirts must be worn to all events.  Bands are limited to the National Anthem.  They are not used to give a home game atmosphere nor to create noise or to rally the fans.

By Law - Article VIII:  Sportsmanship - Section 2:  Any coach ejected from a SIJHSAA contest shall not be permitted to attend the next interscholastic contest at that level (jv/varsity) of competition, or any other SIJHSAA interscholastic contests at any level in the interim.
