Winner Teeners won the sportsmanship award at the state A tournament Sunday in Lennox.
This is what one of the umpires (Johnny Kirchner) at the state tournament wrote about the Winner team and fans.
As an umpire at this tournament I had the privilege of working 2 of the 3 games your team played in. I am sure they came to Lennox planning on bringing home the class A VFW championship. They certainly could have done that because they have the talent. But more important, in my eyes, they played hard no matter the hand they were dealt. Great kids, tremendous coaches, and an awesome fan base. This isn’t necessarily a team award for the kids, our decision was based on fan support and reaction also.
Winner is a classy town with a great group of kids and coaches.
Congrats, it is well deserved and your community should be proud of the group that came to Lennox.
