Pacific Northwest Football Official’s Association Honor Shorewood and Cleveland High Schools for Sportsmanship
Posted: June 19th, 2009

For the past several years (since 2003) officials in the Pacific Northwest Football Official’s Association (PNFOA) have given out a sportsmanship award to a Seattle/Puget Sound school and individual player that exhibits sportsmanship in a given season.  Members of the PNFOA donate to the Sportsmanship Fund in order to pay for a $500 scholarship for a player on the team that is planning on furthering their education after graduation.

The player is picked by the coaching staff and presented with an award and the $500 scholarship in the fall once the student athlete has chosen an institution to attend.  The coach is also presented a plaque.  This past winter the PNFOA membership chose two schools to honor.

On December 11th, 2008 PNFOA members Tim Stevens, Ron Robillard and Jason Capps presented a sportsmanship award to Shorewood High School coach Andrew Hershey and player Peter Huynh.  The award was presented at Shorewood’s Winter awards ceremony.  Mr. Stevens (who nominated Shorewood) talked about the Shorewood team and what made them worthy of the award and Mr. Capps presented Hershey and Huynh with the hardware.

Likewise on January 9th, 2009 PNFOA members Danny Talmage, Mike Livingston and Jason Capps presented a sportsmanship award to Cleveland High School coach Kelvin Goliday and player Jacob Stanley.  The award was presented at a Cleveland assembly.  Mr. Talmage (who nominated Cleveland) talked to the crowd about the positive sportsmanship displayed by Cleveland and Mr. Capps presented Goliday and Stanley the hardware.  Thanks to all PNFOA members who donated to the award fund in 2008.
