Frontier Conference commissioner Mike Walker announced the Bandy Memorial All-Sports trophy will go to Carroll College for the 2007-2008 season. Carroll edged Lewis-Clark by two points.
Westminster College finished third behind Lewis Clark. Rocky Mountain finished fourth followed by University of Great Falls, Montana State-Northern, Montana Tech, Montana Western and Eastern Oregon.
Carroll claimed conference titles in football and women's soccer, and tied for the conference title in men's basketball. Lewis-Clark won titles in volleyball, men's and women's cross country, women's basketball, and was one of four teams tying for the men's basketball title. Rocky Mountain won both men's and women's golf.
The Bandy Award is presented each year to the conference school which 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 with12 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.
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 are the non-Montana members. Eastern Oregon, located in La Grande, 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.
