Frontier Conference commissioner Mike Walker announced the Bandy
Memorial All-Sports trophy will go to Rocky Mountain College for the
2008-2009 season. Rocky edged Lewis-Clark by four points.
Carroll College finished third behind Lewis Clark followed by Westminster College, the University of Great Falls, Montana State-Northern, Montana Tech, Montana Western and Eastern Oregon.
Carroll claimed the conference title in football and tied for the conference title in women's soccer. Lewis-Clark won titles in volleyball, men's and women's cross country and men's golf. Rocky Mountain won a championship in women's golf and tied for the conference title in women's soccer.
The Bandy Award is presented each year to the conference school that has accumulated the most points based on its league finish in football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, soccer, women's volleyball and men's and women's golf.
The conference champion receives 17 points and the points decrease for each place after first with 12 points for second, 10 points for third, nine points for fourth, eight points for fifth, seven points for sixth, six points for seventh and three points for eighth.
If there is a tie in the regular season standings, the points for the place finishing are added together and divided by the number of teams that tied. An example would be if two teams tied for first they would each receive 14.5 points (17 + 12 divided by 2 = 14.5) while the next place finisher would be awarded the third place points.
The conference features eight members in all sports, including six from Montana: Carroll College in Helena; Montana Tech in Butte; Montana State-Northern in Havre; Rocky Mountain in Billings; Montana Western in Dillon and the University of Great Falls. Westminster College, located in Salt Lake City, Utah and Lewis-Clark of Lewiston, Idaho are the non-Montana members. Eastern Oregon, located in La Grande, Ore., is a conference member in football only.
The All-Sports trophy is named in honor of the first Commissioner of the Frontier Conference, George Bandy, his wife Cheryl Ann and their 8-year-old son Michael, whom they had just adopted two weeks earlier. The family died tragically in a boating accident in the summer of 1982 when their 14-foot sailboat overturned in high winds on Canyon Ferry Reservoir of Helena.
