Blackhawks recognize fall athletes

by Pathfinder Staff

Seeley-Swan High School (SSHS) hosted its fall sports awards banquet Nov. 14 at SSHS. Cross country, football and volleyball athletes were recognized for their participation and performance during the season.

Each player received a letter after participating in the required number of varsity games or meets. They received a pin for every activity for which they meet the varsity requirements. For every year they meet the varsity requirements after receiving their pin in a specific activity, they received a chevron.

Conference coaches selected All-Conference and All-State awards. Students received the Academic All-State award if they maintained a 3.5 or better grade point average and earned a varsity letter in athletics during the same academic quarter. SSHS Blackhawk football coaches also awarded several individual awards.
