The resolution acknowledges the dedication and leadership of the coaches, including Katie Nedela, Alissa Melcher, Andi Husk, Phoebe Matson, and Phoebe Melcher, who guided the teams to success. It also highlights the essential support from teachers, administrators, parents, and the community that contributed to these accomplishments. The Nebraska Legislature expresses its congratulations to the Norfolk High School cheer teams and plans to send copies of the resolution to the teams as a formal recognition of their outstanding performance.
