Honoring the Marion Local High School football team on winning the 2013 Division VII State Championship. |
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Marion Local High School football team as the 2013 Division VII State Champion; and |
WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Marion Local 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 Flyers have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in football, and as a result, they outscored a tough Trimble team 33-0 to win the 2013 Division VII State Championship, their third consecutive state crown and their seventh such title in program history, and they finished the season with a perfect 15-0 record; and |
WHEREAS, The Flyers' 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 Tim Goodwin 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 Marion Local 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 Marion Local High School football team. |
I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 247, adopted by the Ohio Senate, January 8, 2014. |
