Congratulations to Boardman senior Gabe Hammerton - AAC Respect the Game/Sportsmanship Award Spring 2026🎾
The OHSAA defines this honor as being awarded to a male athlete who demonstrates, through play and sportsmanship, the true philosophy of athletics. This recognition celebrates athletes who compete with integrity, respect others involved in the game, lead by example, and represent their school and team with character and class.
Gabe exemplifies these qualities each and every day through his leadership, sportsmanship, dedication, and respect for teammates, opponents, coaches, officials, and the game itself. He has proudly represented Boardman athletics both on and off the court throughout his career.
Congratulations, Gabe, on this well-deserved honor. We are incredibly proud of the example you set for younger Spartans and the entire Boardman community!
