5 2008A.F.BRIDGESAWARDS A. F. BRIDGES AWARDS 2009

As part of the "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" program, TSSAA recognizes member schools that have made the effort to remind their athletic family that there is a particular code of conduct, a particular level of expected behavior, and a way to act that is proper if one wishes to be a part of an athletic contest, regardless of how they participate. "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" focuses on the foundation of what we hope all participants will do. Just do what you are supposed to do in representing yourself, your family, your school and community. Those schools that received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct incidents during the 2008-09 season have received a certificate highlighting the "JUSTDOWHAT'SRIGHT!" logo and this effort. We are specifically recognizing proper sportsmanship at athletic contests, but we all understand that the athletic contests are a small part of our educational program. DIVISIONAL AWARDS Local officials associations have been asked to nominate schools that they service that have displayed this overall positive effort to teach, expect, and demand a positive atmosphere of sportsmanship at their particular contests. Member schools have also been asked to nominate individuals or schools for special recognition for going the extra mile to do what's right. Nominations have also come from representatives of the Tennessee Obervers Program for Sports. The TOPS observers have shared the positive efforts that have been recognized at athletic contests across our state. From these nominees and the schools that have received no reported unsportsmanlike conduct during the previous school year, 27 schools have been selected to receive the A.F. Bridges Award at the divisional level. Three Class A, three Class AA, and three Class AAA schools in each grand division have been recognized for a total of nine schools in each division and 27 schools overall. These schools will be presented "JUST DO WHAT'S RIGHT!" recognition banners at the regional meetings in each grand division of our state during November. Again, the TSSAA Board of Control has earmarked $27,000 toward a scholarship fund to recognize outstanding student athletes from the A. F. Bridges Divisional Finalists. Each school will receive $1,000 toward a scholarship to recognize an outstanding student athlete who represents the essence of good sportsmanship and citizenship. The criteria for this scholarship will be established by the school, and student athletes will be recognized later during the school year. STATE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE Of these 27 divisional recipients, one school in each class will receive Tennessee's top award for overall outstanding effort in its division. These schools will be presented the A.F. BRIDGES STATE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE. This is the highest award that can be bestowed upon a school to honor its overall efforts to promote citizenship and sportsmanship at school, and at athletic contests. ATHLETIC DISTRICT AWARDS The A.F. Bridges Awards program includes awards for School System Administrator of the Year, Principal of the Year, Athletic Director of the Year, Female Coach of the Year, Male Coach of the Year, Official of the Year, and Contributor of the Year. Recognition will be made in the above mentioned categories in each of the nine athletic districts in our state. Nominations have been made by a Citizenship/Sportsmanship Committee in each athletic district and final selection has been made by a State Selection Committee. The awards are named the A.F. BRIDGES AWARD in honor of the TSSAA's first executive secretary. A.F. BRIDGES A.F. Bridges was born in Athens, Louisiana on March 17, 1905. He attended school in Lincoln County, Tennessee and graduated from Central High School in Fayetteville in 1922. He earned his B.A. and M.A. from Peabody College in Nashville. He began his work as a teacher and coach at Peabody High School in Trenton, and after a number of years with the Milan, Henderson, and Covington schools, he returned in 1936 as Superintendent of the Trenton schools. Soon after, he became the Superintendent of the Covington City Schools. After three years in Covington, Mr. Bridges was named as the first full-time Executive Secretary of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association and established the first TSSAA state office in Trenton in 1946. Under the leadership of A. Foster Bridges, athletics in the state of Tennessee reached a level of excellence and competence that earned the respect of all people. Mr. Bridges brought national recognition to Tennessee in high school athletics, and particularly in the field of girls' athletics and in the establishing of one of the most respected training programs for officials in the nation.Mr. Bridges was a person of high principles who displayed firmness and fairness, as well as the high ideals of ethics and integrity, as he and many other school people established the foundation of TSSAA across our state. It is our sincere wish that through honoring Mr. Bridges by naming this awards program after him, we will have the opportunity to remind young people of the positive characteristics, not only of this gentleman,
