“We at MSHSAA firmly believe that a positive role model such as yourself can positively influence the actions of others in your school—your teammates, younger students, your opponents and even spectators,” stated Jason West, Missouri State High School Activities Association communications director. “Since a few things bring schools and communities together like high school activities, the actions you display in competitions go a long way to influence others’ perceptions.”
