South St. Louis County is home to several great parishes and St. Martin of Tours adds to the area's stellar reputation. St. Martin's 5th graders hosted Immaculate Conception in a cold, but compelling baseball matchup on Friday night.
With a game time temperature of 60 degrees and a howling wind, the weather favored the gridiron more than the diamond. The Brigade gathered a few jackets and we went to work. Both teams played hard and played well. However, St. Martin's kids encouraged one another and showed tremendous team spirit.
The Brigade couldn't decide on one standout so we picked them all. We're suckers for good sportsmanship.
The Sportsmanship Brigade is a group of Sports Commission volunteers who attend youth sporting events looking for acts of good sportsmanship. Athletes, coaches, parents, fans and officials who exhibit good sportsmanship are rewarded with a certificate of recognition and a gift card to a local business. For more on the Brigade, including scheduling and volunteering information, please visit sportsmanship.org or call 314-345-5130.
