a. First Offense: Any(fan) ejected from a SIJHSAA contest shall not be permitted to attend the next three(3) interscholastic contests at that level (jv-7th/varsity-8th) of competition, at the school that they are representing, or any other SIJHSAA interscholastic contests at any level in the interim.  In addition the fan must complete the NFHS Sportsmanship course online.  Receipt of course completion must be acknowledged by the SIJHSAA office prior to the fan regaining contest attendance. Additional penalties may be assessed by the school and/or the SIJHSAA. (example:  A fan is ejected from a game by an official or school administrator.  The school you are there with is Bloomington 8th grade girls.  The ejected fan may not attend the next 3(three)Bloomington 8th grade girls games - and in addition may not attend any SIJHSAA events in the interim of the suspension)

Section 6. In the event of an ejection of a player, coach, or fan due to unsportsmanlike conduct, the host school Athletic Director or Principal shall be required to send a written report of the incident to the SIJHSAA Director. This report shall be received by the SIJHSAA Director no later than noon the day following the ejection.  Unsportsmanlike Conduct Ejection Forms may be found on the SIJHSAA Website (www.sijhsaa.com) under the Administrative Section - Forms and Documents.

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.
