       WHEREAS,  The members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Eaton High School cheerleading team on winning the 2010 Division A State Championship in the small non-mount category and placing second overall; and

       WHEREAS,  A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Eaton High School cheerleading team have combined talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. With admirable dedication, members Ally Hoke, Becka Holderman, Christina Killen, Kelly Barney, Cassie Coggeshall, Tera Hypes, Carrie Simmons, Amanda Hatmaker, Taylor Sullivan, and Stacy Nutt have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in their sport, and as a result, they won the 2010 Division A State Championship in the small non-mount category and placed second overall; and

       WHEREAS,  The achievements and leadership of the Eaton High School cheerleading team are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection not only on them but also on their families, their school, their community, and their coaches. The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of the coaches to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading their team to victory, Sarah Morrison and Katie Maffett have not only helped each member to develop her talents to the fullest, but they have also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, camaraderie, and school spirit; and

       WHEREAS,  With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay tribute to these fine athletes and their outstanding coaches for a job well done. The maturity and experience the members have gained through participation in sports will greatly aid them in meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the Senate of the 128th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Eaton High School cheerleading team on its tremendous season and salute the members and coaches as some of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further

       RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Eaton High School cheerleading team.
