Sportsmanship

Sportsmanship: Jenna and Deb

Summary: Two cross-country runs, Jenna Huff and Deb were going against each other to take their team to state champion-ship. Deb had been ahead Jenna the whole race, in the last lap Deb stops she had dislocated her growth plate. Jenna gets her assuring she is in front of her and helps her to the finish line, so Deb could win like it was supposed to happen.

Reflection: This is a great example of sportsmanship, and of choosing the right. Jenna had her chance to win the race, but as she said “I knew it was the right thing to do” she put aside her desire to win and helped her opponent finish the race. There are very few people in the world willing to lose something so important in helping others. Jenna Huff has set the best example for people/athletes all around the world. It is always better to show your good sportsmanship and help others out. 

Reflection : Good Sportsmanship

Reflection

In a softball competition Sarah from the Western Oregon team, batted her first homeroom but with that homeroom she batted her softball career. Sarah had torn her ACL and was on the flooring hugging the base; her teammates were not allowed to touch her.  That is when Mallory and Liz from the opposing team Central Washington carried her to all the bases until she made her first homerun. This is the best example of good sportsmanship. Mallory and Liz did not have to carry her, they could have just left her there, but winning the game did not matter to them, they were loyal and helped Sarah out because she deserved it.  Central Washington lost the game, but they gained much more respect and left that field with loyalty. Mallory and Liz are a great example to people all over the world, loyalty and good sportsmanship are very important.
