| MUHS Named 2015 WIAA Sportsmanship Award Recipients for Boys' Tennis July 27, 2015 Our program is about more than winning championships. We strive to help our students learn and develop life skills and become Men for Others by putting the interests of the Team ahead of their personal objectives and by keeping winning and losing in perspective. We focus on what is within our control such as putting forth full effort, remaining focused and always exhibiting good sportsmanship. I feel that it is a huge distinction that MUHS Tennis is the only State Champion to receive this award in boys tennis (MUHS also earned this award in its 2008 Team State Title campaign). This is something that we strive for each year to help our players realize that there are more important things in life than winning a tennis match and the way that we conduct ourselves is extremely important to our program and our school. I definitely could not be prouder of how this Team responded to challenges every step of the way. In the scheme of things, this Sportsmanship Award is much more challenging to earn than a State Title, however it is much more important. We will continue to work hard to encourage our students to be Men for Others and be respectful and compassionate even in the most competitive of environments. - Coach David Frank |
