Lyons Township High School’s varsity volleyball was recently awarded ZONI’s Sportsmanship banner. The banner is given to the school whose players, coaches, and fans exhibit the best sportsmanship throughout a season. ZONI members rate their top schools. The team with the overall highest score is awarded a banner. Other schools that score well in the balloting are awarded certificates.

Lyons Township’s varsity team also won Sportsmanship Banners in 2009 and 2006. Its varsity teams have consistently received high sportsmanship marks, earning a banner or certificate from ZONI nearly every year since the Sportsmanship Program started in 1997.

ZONI is proud of all of our winners. The Sportsmanship Awards are given to further one of ZONI’s goals: to support and encourage attitude and behavior that reflects positively on interscholastic volleyball.

For a list of all of this season’s certificate winners and previous season’s winners, please look at our Sportsmanship Page.

Congratulations to the varsity boys volleyball teams from Libertyville and Waukegan High Schools. They are the winners of ZONI’s Sportsmanship banners for the Spring 2011 season. Each school will receive a banner to place in their gyms. ZONI officials voted these two teams the best for overall player, coach, and fan sportsmanship across all of the schools and teams that ZONI members worked during the season.
