The results indicated an overall rating of 94% membership satisfaction of the AIA. All information submitted is appreciated and helps the AIA staff moving forward to better support our membership. The Flagstaff High School Principal submitted a letter to the Executive Board regarding an incident that occurred in 1963 that resulted in a student athlete being suspended the remainder of the season. This incident was brought up during Black History Month and the Flagstaff High School administration and district are requesting the suspension be rescinded. Kris Kurtenbach visited with AIA staff last Monday. Ms. Kurtenbach, along with John Fees, from the Community Advisory Board, are putting together a proposal with AIA. This proposal is to promote students to get back in school and participation in athletics and activities. The InsideOut Initiative had participation from 56 AIA member schools this year. This program is funded by the Arizona Cardinals and is no cost to schools. There will be a meeting in person at the State Farm Stadium on August 25, 2021. An invitation with information on how to register will go out in the next coming weeks. As a reminder, all spring sports modifications will remain in place. These modifications are a requirement and all schools, students, coaches, officials and spectators must follow them. A concern was brought to the attention of the Tournament Coordinators and AIA Staff regarding visitors providing three (3) baseball. All schools will continue to be required to provide three (3) game baseballs at each game.

  • Southwestern Maine Activities Association
    Southwestern Maine Activities Association Portland High School running back Joe Esposito was named as Maine’s Gatorade Football Player of the Year for 2015. A talented two-way player who led Portland in tackles, Esposito helped lead the Bulldogs to last fall’s Class A North championship. Esposito, who collected 1634 yards on the ground and scored 27 touchdowns for Portland last season, was also selected by the Maine Sunday Telegram as its Player of the Year. Esposito also was a key player for Portland High School’s basketball team this winter. On January 24, Joe Esposito added to his trophy collecting by garnering Maine football’s biggest prize, the James J. Fitzpatrick Trophy. Sponsored by the Julius (Yudy) Elowitch family since its inception, the trophy is named for former Portland High School football coach and athletic director James J. Fitzpatrick, who served in the latter capacity from 1936-1966 and was a four-sport letter winner at Boston College. Esposito is the fifth Bulldog to win the honor (Mike Rutherford – 1982; Shawn Hawkins – 1983; Joe D’Andrea – 1995; Carl Frye – 2002) since the award was initiated in the early 1980’s. The 45th annual presentation of this award took place in a ceremony held at the Holiday Inn-by-the-Bay in Portland on January 24. Presenting this year’s Fitzpatrick Trophy was 1990 winner John St. Onge, who starred as a fullback while a player at Biddeford High School. During his stellar career, St. Onge played for the legendary coach Mike Landry at Biddeford and now lives and works in Connecticut.
