squad by the score of 4-1 to win this year’s OHSAA State Championship,   10

justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the           13
players, their families, their school, their community, and their        14
coach, Pat O’Rourke. In leading his team to victory, Coach O’Rourke      15
has not only helped the athletes to develop their talents to the         16
fullest but also instilled in them a valuable sense of determination,    17
perseverance, and camaraderie; and                                       18
     WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role   19
in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased     20
to pay tribute to these exemplary athletes and their outstanding coach   21
for a job well done. The maturity and experience the team members have   22
gained through their participation in sports will greatly aid them in    23
meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it                    24
    RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 135th General    25
