2000-01 A.F. Bridges Division Finalists
Local officials associations were asked to nominate schools that they service that have displayed this overall positive effort to teach, expect, and demand a
positive atmosphere of sportsmanship at their particular contests. Member schools were also asked to nominate individuals or schools for special recognition for going the extra mile to do what’s right. Nominations have also come from epresentatives of the Tennessee Obervers Program for Sports. The
TOPS observers have shared the positive efforts that have been recognized at athletic contests across our state.
From these nominees and the schools that have received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct during the previous school year, 27 schools have been selected to receive the A.F. Bridges Award at the divisional level. Three Class A, three Class AA, and three Class AAA schools in each grand division have been recognized for a total of nine schools in each division and 26 schools overall. These schools will be presented “Just Do What’s Right!” recognition banners at the regional meetings in each grand division of our state during November, 2001.
The awards are named the A.F. Bridges Award in honor of the TSSAA’s first executive secretary.
Of these 27 divisional recipients, one school in each class will receive Tennessee’s top award for overall outstanding effort in its division. These schools will be presented the A.F. Bridges State Award of Excellence. This is the highest award that can be bestowed upon a school to honor its overall efforts to promote citizenship and sportsmanship at school, and at athletic contests.
The awards will be presented at the regional meetings at the following sites:
