The winners of the Delmar Yockey All-Sports Award for 2023-24 are the Fairfield Lions.

This is the Lions’ third consecutive Delmar Yockey Award.

For each sports season, Southern Hills Athletic Conference schools are awarded points based on their respective teams’ finish in the conference standings. The team with the highest total at the end of the school year receives the Delmar Yockey Award.

The varsity boys basketball team and athletic director Jimmy Barnett accepted the award for the district Friday, Nov. 22 at the SHAC boys basketball preview at Peebles.
