The NWC has a sportsmanship program where each school in the conference selects one senior male athlete and one senior female athlete to represent them in a Sportsmanship poster. Recognizing sportsmanship is crucial for fostering a positive environment within the Northwest Conference and beyond. Our encouragement to play fair, build character and promote the social/emotional well-being of our student-athletes is critical in helping progress personal growth as they enter adulthood!
