Benedictine Competitive Cheer Earns Musco Team Sportsmanship Award

The Benedictine College competitive cheer program has been selected for the Musco Team Sportsmanship Award for the sport of cheer, announced by the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

The Ravens, under head coach Alex Shaffer, earned the award for their display of the NAIA's Five Core Character Values of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship and Servant Leadership.

Teams are nominated throughout the season by Athletics Administrators, Game Officials, Coaches, Student-Athletes and Fans.

Here is what the nominators had to say about the Ravens:

"I have personally witnessed the Ravens on several occasions be very genuine, kind and supportive of their opponents. And those occasions truly show the character that the team possesses."

The team that is selected for the award, from each sport, will be honored at the 2024 Heart Summit in July.
