| Honoring the Norwalk High School boys basketball team as the 2014 Division II State Champion. |
| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Norwalk High School boys basketball team on winning the 2014 Division II State Championship; and |
| WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Norwalk High School boys basketball 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 Truckers have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in basketball, and as a result, they defeated a tough Bishop Watterson team by the score of 65-58 to win this year's Division II State Championship and finished the season with an impressive 29-1 record; and |
| WHEREAS, The Truckers' 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 Steve Gray 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 Norwalk High School boys basketball team on its tremendous 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 Norwalk High School boys basketball team. |
| I, Vincent L. Keeran, hereby certify that the above is a true and correct copy of Senate Resolution No. 329, adopted by the Ohio Senate, May 7, 2014. |
