An almost perfect sportsmanship rating was achieved by the MountAyr Community boys baseball team this summer, according to the Iowa High School Athletic Association. The ratings for coaches, players and spectators were all in the top 10 percent of the state. The rating for coaches and spectators was a perfect 1.00 for the 23 games rated this summer. The rating for players was 1.04, meaning that in just one game the umpires did not give the boys a perfect outstanding rating.
