GCSU wins PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award 

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. | Georgia College & State University was presented the 2023-24 Peach Belt Conference Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award at the league's annual awards dinner Tuesday night (May 28). A banner that rotates from winning school to winning school will remain in Milledgeville, Ga., for a second straight year. The award is the fourth overall for GCSU after previous wins in 2017 and 2021.

The annual honor is given to the institution displaying the best overall sportsmanship for the 2023-24 season and culminates the PBC's season-long sportsmanship recognition program.

Following each championship sports season a Team Sportsmanship Award is presented to the team in that sport that best exemplifies what the award stands for: the spirit of sportsmanship, a high degree of integrity, character and class.  Each team award is voted on by other teams who compete in that sport and points are awarded on how each team finished in the voting.

In 2023-24, GCSU won Team Sportsmanship Awards in men's tennis, men's basketball and volleyball. The three awards give the Bobcats 29 since the inception of the program, tied for second-most in the PBC, and represents the ninth time GCSU has had multiple awards in the same season.
