Sportsmanship
If I may, a comment about officiating and sportsmanship. Good and bad officiating is part of all sports and at all levels. If professional officials cannot get it right all of the time, it’s difficult to expect HS officials to get it right (all of the time). When they don’t, as a parent I know you want to scream, yell and voice your opinion. I’m asking that you refrain from doing this. It’s difficult enough to get officials to work our games and when parents lose control, it only makes matters worse. We’re the adults and for better or worse, it’s up to us as parents to set the example of appropriate behavior at athletic events.I think we do an outstanding job at BHS and I hope the positive behavior that we have exhibited in the past continues.
BHS has won the NJSIAA SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS!
CHEER FOR BERNARDS - NOT AGAINST OUR OPPONENTS, FANS, COACHES OR OFFICIALS.
Respectfully,
Mike Hoppe
Athletic Director
