WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the 5
Graham Local High School wrestling team have combined talent and 6
competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to 7
establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. With admirable 8
dedication, they have worked toward attaining ultimate proficiency on 9
the mat, and as a result, they earned an outstanding 157 points to be 10
crowned this year’s Division II State Champions; and 11
WHEREAS, The achievements of the Graham Local High School 12
wrestling team are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent 13
reflection on the wrestlers, the Falcon community, and their coach. 14
The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of 15
coaches to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading his 16
team to victory, Coach Jason Knott has not only helped these young 17
athletes develop their prowess but also instilled in them a valuable 18
sense of determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and 19
WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role 20
in the total education of our youth, we heartily applaud the students 21
who comprise the Graham Local High School wrestling team for a job 22
well done and for demonstrating strength, resolve, and integrity. The 23
maturity and experience the members have gained through their 24
participation in sports will greatly aid them in meeting the 25
challenges of the future; therefore be it 26
