The LHSAA Beyond the Game Program is having its second annual Sportsmanship essay contest. This is an opportunity for students at all of our member schools to get creative and tell us what it means to go “beyond the game” in sportsmanship.

The guidelines are simple, and your entries must be received by April 30, 2013 to be eligible to win.

The contest is open to all students, ages 14-18, in grades 9-12 at LHSAA member schools.

First place will be awarded a prize of $500 and will be recognized at the annual LHSCA Coaches Clinic banquet in July.

The theme of the essay contest should follow the topic: “Sportsmanship: Going Beyond the Game.”

If you have any questions or concerns, please to contact LHSAA Communications Director Renee Trimble at 225-296-5882 or rtrimble@lhsaa.org.
