Insert high school name High School, the Insert conference name Conference, and the WIAA require good sportsmanship by student-athletes, coaches, parents, and all spectators at interscholastic athletic events.
Good sportsmanship is demonstrated by respecting and positively supporting the student-athletes, coaches, spectators, and officials.
Profanity; racial, sexist, or ethnic comments; and any other intimidating action that is directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches, or spectators will not be tolerated and will be grounds for removal from this interscholastic athletic event.
Good sportsmanship is the responsibility of student-athletes, coaches, parents, and all spectators. Please display good sportsmanship at all times.
Thanks for your cooperation.

We've even had venues where they go so far as to have a player/student from each team read this at mid-court prior to the game. It may as well be Charlie Brown's teacher talking because I know the second the ball is tipped no one cares what was read.
