| Honoring the Hoover High School softball team on winning the 2012 Division I State Championship. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 129th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to commend the Hoover High School softball team as the 2012 Division I State Champion; and |
| WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Hoover High School softball 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, the Vikings have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in softball, and as a result, they overcame a tough Lebanon team by the score of 2-0 to win this year's Division I State Championship, their second consecutive state crown and their sixth such title overall, and they finished the season with an impressive 30-3 record; and |
| WHEREAS, The Vikings' achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, 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, Coach Jerry Goodpasture and his assistants have not only helped each athlete to develop her talents to the fullest but also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; 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 exemplary athletes and their outstanding coaches for a job well done. The maturity and experience the team 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 129th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate the Hoover High School softball team on its Division I State Championship and applaud all those associated with this fine squad; and be it further |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Hoover High School softball team. |
| I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 300, adopted by the Ohio Senate, June 28, 2012. |
