I don't know about the rest of you, but in my area as the season is coming to an end. The tempers are flaring up because its all region play and the play-offs are on the line. Add to that most of the team playing are rivalries even with out the region play.
What I do is acknowledge the rivalry, in the captain/coaches meeting. I say I know this is a rivalry, but I expect good behavior and sportsmanship. Just so that they know I'm overly keyed in on the possibility of showboating etc....
Just my two cents
