| WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the St. Francis DeSales High School girls soccer team have combined talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad.

The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of the coach to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading his team to victory, Coach McGee has not only helped each player to develop her talents to the fullest, but he has also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, camaraderie, and 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 coach for a job well done. The maturity and experience the players 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 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the St. Francis DeSales High School girls soccer team on its tremendous 2011 season and salute the players and coach as some of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further |
