The Senate Concurrent Resolution commends and congratulates the Zwolle High School boys basketball team for achieving their 17th state championship title. Zwolle High School has a storied history in basketball, beginning with their first state title in 1968 and continuing through a remarkable era of dominance from 1988 to 1994, during which they won seven consecutive championships. Under the leadership of Coach Bradley McLaren, the team has continued to excel, securing additional titles in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2017, 2023, and now 2024, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in Louisiana high school basketball.

This latest victory not only marks a significant milestone for the Zwolle Hawks but also places them at the pinnacle of Louisiana high school boys basketball, as no other school has achieved more than 16 state championships. The resolution highlights the dedication and spirit of the Zwolle community, players, coaches, and supporters who have contributed to this legacy of excellence. The Legislature of Louisiana expresses its pride in this accomplishment and plans to transmit a copy of the resolution to Coach McLaren and the team.
