Cougars Earn Sportsmanship Award
July 2007 – Despite a rocky 1-7 start, the St. Charles Community
College’s men’s baseball team rallied to a strong finish with
a 13-12 run. While the overall play of the Cougars was inconsistent, their
level of sportsmanship remained constant.
As a result of their respectful play, the 2006-07 Cougars won the Midwest
Community College Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award. Each
year, the MCCA Conference coaches give the Sportsmanship Award to the team
that best adheres to ethical behavior and fair play rules.
Cougars Head Coach Chris Gober credits his team for winning the award,
saying that the team was well-behaved and that they didn’t overreact
to minor calls.
“We’ve never really argued balls and strikes,” Gober said. “In
fact, in my nine years of coaching I’ve never been thrown out of a game.
We just go out and play hard.”
