LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - The Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) today announced its fifth
annual winter All-Sportsmanship teams. A total of 22
student-athletes were selected to the 2012-13 squad in the sports
of men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s
swimming & diving and women’s swimming & diving.
Complete Release
The SCAC places a special emphasis on sportsmanship each year, but
this year, the conference went a step further. Prior to the 2012-13
academic year, the league developed and introduced a new
sportsmanship-themed campaign, “Cheer Hard, Play Harder, Respect
Everyone,” and created PSAs and videos that were
distributed throughout the conference.
These pieces have been played during conference-produced
video-streamed championship activities throughout the 2012-13
academic year and even promoted nationally through the NCAA
Division III Twitter account and Facebook page.
The following student-athletes were named to the 2012-13 SCAC
All-Sportsmanship Team for the sports of men’s and
women’s basketball and men’s and women’s swimming
& diving:
