The responsibilities of the hosted event rotates between the seven school membership of Jac-Cen-Del, Milan, South Ripley, Switzerland County, Rising Sun, Southwestern Hanover, and Madison Shawe. Rising Sun High School was this season’s designee, and Principal Noel Bostic opened the event with a welcome, thank-you for a positive season, and a blessing for the meal. Following the meal, presentation of ribbons, medals and certificates were made to the honorees. Sadly missed at the event was ORVC Girls Basketball Championship Title Coach of the Year and 2015/16 IHSAA Class 1A State Championship Title Girls Basketball Head Coach Scott Smith of Jac-Cen-Del Lady Eagles, due to illness.
