FOREST, Va. – The Old Dominion Athletic Conference has released the ODAC/StellarOne Sportsmanship Teams for the winter 2012-13 season. Forty-nine student-athletes across five sports were honored from 14 full-time ODAC schools and two associate members.
Emory & Henry’s selections were men’s basketball freshman guard Myles Turner (Richmond, Va.) women’s basketball freshman guard Anna Green (Raleigh, N.C.) and freshman swimmer Payton Shirey (Seaford, Del.).
“I am pleased that the conference recognizes
student-athletes for their focus on fair play and
sportsmanship," explained ODAC Commissioner Brad
Bankston. "The conference prides itself on positive
sportsmanship and encouraging student-athletes to lead by example.
Each one of the honorees has been selected by the coaches in
recognition of their conduct in the arena. My hat is off to these
student-athletes - thanking them for the example they set for all
of us.”
The ODAC has a rich tradition in promoting fair play and good
sportsmanship in each sport across the league. The character of the
conference’s student-athletes on and off the field is a
representation of not only the individuals and teams, but also the
institutions for which they play.
“All of us at StellarOne Bank are excited to be an official
corporate sponsor, touching the lives of so many in the Old
Dominion Athletic Conference," said Angela
Ross, Chief Branding Officer for StellarOne.
