Hochradel has not only helped the athletes to develop their talents to 17
the fullest but also instilled in them a valuable sense of 18
determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and 19
WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role 20
in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased 21
to pay tribute to these exemplary athletes and their outstanding coach 22
for a job well done. The maturity and experience the team members have 23
