The Jordan and Western Hills teams gave the New Era some tips for developing winning sportsmanship.
•Have a good attitude with all the players, coaches, and referees on and off the court.
•Don't take the game too seriously.
•Don't get upset when others make mistakes.
•Communicate with your teammates.
•Teach others how to play.
•Try your hardest.
•Say "good game" and mean it.
•Have fun!
