Riverton High School Wins 6A UHSAA Video Competition for Promoting Sportsmanship

Riverton High School recently took first place in the 6A classification of the UHSAA video competition project which seeks to highlight the importance of positive sportsmanship. Audio from the video played before the school’s fall sporting events and will be shown at indoor sporting events this winter. It will also be featured during all UHSAA 6A championship games.

The school was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for the video, which will support students in Riverton’s video production class. The ambitious project, emphasizing inclusivity and community, involved over 80 students, including athletes from Unified Sports.

Josh Lucas, the school’s video production teacher, produced the video in collaboration with the school’s administration and athletic department. Reflecting on the project, Mr. Lucas shared, “The video’s message is that there is no honor in winning if you show bad sportsmanship.” He added that the video isn’t just aimed at student-athletes but at the fans in the stands. The goal is to foster a positive culture surrounding sports and to ensure that respect and sportsmanship are valued as much as success on the field or court.

Great job, Riverton High School, for creating a positive and inclusive environment in sports. This video is a powerful example of what community, positivity, and teamwork can accomplish for everyone attending a 6A championship game or a Riverton High School sporting event.
