| Honoring the Padua Franciscan High School girls volleyball team as the 2013 Division II State Champion. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Padua Franciscan High School girls volleyball team on winning the 2013 Division II State Championship; and |
| WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Padua Franciscan High School girls 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 Bruins have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in volleyball, and as a result, they defeated a tough Archbishop Alter team by the score of 23-25, 25-12, 25-21, 25-21 to win this year's Division II State Championship crown, their third such title in six seasons; and |
| WHEREAS, The Bruins' 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. 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 Jim BeHarry has 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 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 Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Padua Franciscan High School girls volleyball team on its tremendous 2013 season and salute the players and coach 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 Padua Franciscan High School girls volleyball team. |
| I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 235, adopted by the Ohio Senate, December 4, 2013. |
