HOLMES NAMED TO ALL-SPORTSMANSHIP TEAM

ATLANTA, GA- The Millsaps Majors' Beverly Holmes has been named to the Southern Athletic Association's All-Sportsmanship team for the 2013-14 season. 

The All-Sportsmanship honorees are selected by the head coach of each team to honor the student-athlete on their squad that best exemplifies the traits of "fair play and good sportsmanship" the NCAA platforms for Division III.

From the NCAA: " High standards of scholarship and sportsmanship are adhered to by member institutions. To accomplish this goal, opponents must respect each other, and appreciate honest efforts that are made fairly in pursuit of victory...While victory shall be the expected goal of every competitor, defeat is not a disgrace; the prospect of defeat is never an excuse for unethical behavior or a lack of sportsmanship.  Adherence to these principles will maximize the benefits and enjoyment of intercollegiate competition for all participants, coaches and spectators."

"I am thrilled that Bev has received this honor. She loves the game of basketball," head coach Chuck Winkelman said. "More importantly she sets a great example of how to compete with great respect for her opponent."
