DCL Awards
The DCL has awarded the Robert M. Chrusz Sportsmanship Award to South students Emily Ball and Will Lavey for their leadership, sportsmanship, and commitment to our community.
Bob Chrusz was a long-time Athletic Director at Newton South. He was a champion for better sportsmanship in our league and a strong leader that left his mark on the state.
Congratulations to both senior athletes!
