Off the field, DIAA also announced this year’s Dale Farmer Sportsmanship Award winners, honoring eight member schools for building positive athletic environments rooted in respect, integrity, character and fair play.

Why it matters: the award is a reminder that Delaware’s student athletes are being recognized for more than just wins and losses. It’s about the character they build on the field, something that will carry them well beyond high school sports.
