Each year, Shawnee High School Presents the Jack Fox Sportsmanship Award to both a male and female honoree.  The recipients of this award are voted on by all the head coaches.  This is a special award because it is named after the late Mr. John "Jack" Fox, a Medford resident and long time Shawnee fan and supporter.  Mr. Fox was an inductee of the 2007 Shawnee Athletic Hall of Fame, and was the epitome of good sportsmanship.  Jack Fox treated all athletes, teams, coaches and officials like family.  The inscription on the plaque which the athlete receives states:  

 "Awarded to the athlete who best exemplified the qualities of good sportsmanship by treating teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials with dignity and respect and for always keeping the spirit of the sport in view while competing."
