The FHSAA released its winners for the annual Fred E. Rozelle Sportsmanship Award on June 22, and two Volusia-Flagler area schools were honored.
Seabreeze took home the Class 5A title and Calvary Christian won the Class 1A award that recognizes athletic programs that promote sportsmanship and respect on and off the field. Both programs will receive $2,500 and a plaque for their victories.
“I’m so proud of our coaches and our players,” Seabreeze athletic director Anthony Campanella said. “It’s a very big accomplishment, and people don’t realize that. You’re talking about Class 5A and the entire state, and we won this award for sportsmanship. I mean, that’s amazing.”
According to Campanella, sportsmanship was specifically a focus he preached to his coaches this season after paying more than $2,000 in unsportsmanlike conduct fines during the 2024-25 school year. That number decreased to zero for the 2025-26 calendar.
It’s the second trophy the Sandcrabs will take home this season along with a second consecutive FHSAA bowling title. For Calvary Christian, the victory plaque will be the lone FHSAA trophy it’s won this season.
“I had a great meeting before school about sportsmanship with our coaches,” Campanella said. “They bought in, and it was something that they took to their teams and relayed to them. So again, I’m proud of this. This is amazing.”
