AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Flagler College men's basketball program is the recipient of the Peach Belt Conference Team Sportsmanship Award for the second year in a row and ninth time overall, the league office announced on Wednesday (March 11).
 
Started in 2008, the Team Sportsmanship Award is presented following each championship season to the team in each sport that best exemplifies the spirit of sportsmanship and generally conducts themselves with a high degree of integrity, character and class. The award is voted for by all teams who compete in that sport. The votes gathered for each sport throughout the year are adjusted into points awarded for each team and used to help determine the PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award. All points from throughout the year are totaled and shared with the Senior Woman Administrators, who then vote for the 'PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award".

"I hope our team always plays with passion and sportsmanship that honors the game of basketball, who they are, and Flagler College," said head men's basketball coach Blake Selland.
 
Flagler has won the PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award eight times, including six consecutive years (2010-11 through 2015-16) and in 2017-18 as well as 2018-19. Flagler claims its 39^th team sportsmanship award, which leads all PBC institutions.
