One mark of a good player is good sportsmanship. Do not swear or fight. Use self‐control. Do nothing that will bring discredit to your school. Win graciously; lose without alibi.
Accept official's judgment without question. Give the best that is in you for your team. Avoid any reference to color, creed, and nationality of your opponent. All team cheering should be positive. There is no place for intimidating or demeaning chants, gestures, etc. All players must follow the Big North Code of Behavior for Athletic Contests. Disqualification from a contest will result in suspension from participation in future game(s) in compliance with NJSIAA rules. The high school reserves the right to extend suspension from an athletic team for additional contests depending on the nature of the incident.
