There are so many different sporting events happening in and around the Morehead area each week. People of all ages are out on the fields and in the gyms playing volleyball, football, soccer, golf, baseball, softball, and running cross-country. For the most part, going to these events is a fun and entertaining experience, not to mention a time to bond as parents, as families, and as members of the same community.

Sadly, there are some people who get too into these games, forgetting the spirit of learning, togetherness and fun that is supposed to be present. It seems sometimes people forget that there are children present, that it is just a game, and most importantly in my opinion, that we have an obligation as a community to stand in a united and sportsmanlike front.

The Morehead Parks and Recreation Department and the Rowan County School System both have a sportsmanship policy. Coaches, players and spectators are supposed to uphold this policy where trash talking, taunting, baiting, and the use of abusive and/or obscene language come with penalties for the team or ejection from the facility. So as a community, let’s try to mind our manners, and remember that game officials and school staff members have been instructed not to issue warnings.
