Disciples Recognized for Sportsmanship


From the January 9, 2009, Sports section of the Richmond Times Dispatch:

Sportsmanship Awards

The Central Virginia Football Officials Association has awarded its Stretch Gardner and George Gasser sportsmanship awards to Thomas Jefferson and Nottoway high schools.

During the football season, officials rate the schools for sportsmanship. The Gardner award is presented to the highest rated Group AAA and Prep League schools served by the CVFOA. The Gasser goes to the Group AA, A and independent schools.

Fork Union and Manchester were the runners-up for the Gardner. West Point and Central Virginia Home School (Disciples) were second and third in the Gasser voting.

Thomas Jefferson and Nottoway will be recognized during the Touchdown Club of Richmond's All-Metro banquet Jan. 29 at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

The CVFOA consists of more than 225 officials and serves more than 65 schools.
