• Sportsmanship is a priority of the San Juan Basin League
and each of its member schools. Life lessons are how to
win with grace, how to lose with dignity and how to
always play with respect. We expect all administrators,
athletics directors, coaches, officials, coaches, studentathletes, and spectators to adhere to this philosophy and
commit to fair play, ethical behavior, and integrity.
