Honoring the Coldwater High School football team on winning the 2013 Division V State Championship. |
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Coldwater High School football team as the 2013 Division V State Champion; and |
WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Coldwater High School football 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 Cavaliers have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in football, and as a result, they outscored a tough Bishop Hartley team 24-7 to win the 2013 Division V State Championship, their second consecutive state crown and their fourth such title since 2005, and they finished the season with a 13-2 record; and |
WHEREAS, The Cavaliers' 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 Chip Otten and his assistants have not only helped each athlete to develop his 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 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Coldwater High School football team on its tremendous 2013 season and salute the players 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 Coldwater High School football team. |
