The Football Officials Association, which covers all schools from 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B and 1B divisions in San Juan, Whatcom, Skagit and Island Counties, has officials working at each game in order to rate the teams and coaching staff. They rate each team in terms of sportsmanship on a grading scale from one to 10, with ten being the highest.

They take into account the attitude and respect shown toward game officials and opponents as the determining factor. The football players and coaches at Lopez Island High School received the highest vote totals and were awarded the 2013 John Trotto Sportsmanship Award.
