| WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Elder High School boys volleyball team on winning the 2014 Division I State Championship; and |
| WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Elder High School boys volleyball 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 Panthers have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in volleyball, and as a result, they defeated a tough St. Xavier team by the score of 25-23, 25-20, 25-22 to win this year's Division I State Championship; and |
| WHEREAS, The Panthers' achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their families, their school, their community, and their coach.

| 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 coach 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 House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Elder High School boys volleyball team on its tremendous 2014 season and salute the players and coach as some of Ohio's finest citizens; and be it further |
