A RESOLUTION
Honoring the West Branch High School baseball team on
securing the 2024 Division II State Championship.
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 135th General Assembly 1
of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the West Branch High School 2
baseball team as the 2024 Division II State Champion; and 3
WHEREAS, The talented West Branch High School baseball team is, 4
indeed, to be heartily commended for decisively earning this year’s 5
Division II State Championship. The squad’s performance, a come-from- 6
behind 3-2 victory over the team from Badin High School, reflects the 7
outstanding collective effort by a gifted group of athletes, and 8
without exception, the team has devoted countless hours to training 9
and practice in order to ensure peak conditioning. Clearly, this 10
demanding regimen has paid handsome dividends, as WBHS claimed its 11
first state crown in program history; and 12
WHEREAS, The members of the West Branch High School baseball team 13
have epitomized the power, poise, and precision that befit true 14
champions. Despite sometimes grueling pressure, they have consistently 15
maintained their composure and morale, exhibiting strength, speed, 16
stamina, and agility in every challenging encounter. Time and again, 17
they have risen to the occasion, amply demonstrating their unflagging 18
determination, and their impressive maturity and finesse have earned 19
them widespread respect, even among their most formidable rivals; and 20
WHEREAS, By weathering a rigorous schedule and prevailing over a 21
host of adversaries, the members of the West Branch High School 22
baseball team have learned much about dedication, self-discipline, 23
leadership, and perseverance. Their first-place finish is a measure of 24
their stalwart commitment to the sport, and their indomitable spirit 25
has made their families, friends, and coaches incredibly proud; 26
