This weekend we were at the Palmyra Community Center for a youth basketball tournament sponsored by Finger Lakes Fury.
We believe that character and integrity are the keys to a better world for all. Kids with these traits act as leaders on their teams and better everyone around them. We watched the games and consulted with the referees before and after. We were impressed by the high character of many of the players on the court this weekend. It was difficult to pick only 4 players, but we ultimately decided to recognize these rising stars for their sportsmanship. They played hard during the games, but it was often their actions after the whistles blew that showed their high character. These players picked up not only fallen teammates, but also their opponents. They cheered on their teammate’s successes and also supported them when they made mistakes. Congratulations and thanks for setting a great example for others!
Thanks to Bob Guy of Finger Lakes Fury for allowing us to present these awards. Each winner received a mini-basketball, Gatorade water bottle, and lighted wand.
