No. R-293. House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2024 West Rutland High School Golden Horde girls’ basketball team on winning the school’s third consecutive Division IV championship.
(H.C.R.227)
Offered by: Representatives Burditt of West Rutland, Peterson of Clarendon, Canfield of Fair Haven, Chesnut-Tangerman of Middletown Springs, Clifford of Rutland City,
Harrison of Chittenden, Howard of Rutland City, Jerome of Brandon, Maguire of Rutland City, McCoy of Poultney, Nicoll of Ludlow, Notte of Rutland City, and Shaw of Pittsford Offered by: Senators Collamore, Weeks, and Williams Whereas, the Golden Horde were already known for their command of the offensive and defensive subtleties that comprise the game of basketball, and, during the recently completed 2023–2024 season, this extraordinary team of young athletes reconfirmed this fact, and Whereas, despite West Rutland’s earning the second seed for playoff competition, the Golden Horde’s demanding schedule of upper division opponents prepared them well for the Division IV finale against the Long Trail Mountain Lions at Barre Auditorium, and Whereas, the Mountain Lions’ opening 7–3 scoring advantage proved a fallacy as the Golden Horde quickly pulled ahead 11–9 and remained on top thereafter, ending the game with a resounding 49–38 victory, and Whereas, this great West Rutland team consisted of Emily Trepanier, Gabby Griffith,
Samara Raiche, Peyton Guay, Isabella Coombs, Kennah Wright-Chapman, Aubrey Beaulieu, Alexis Howard, Camryn Williams, Maggie Therrien, Hayley Raiche, Myra Rocke, Karen Firpo, Isabella Griffith, and Bradee Traverse, and Whereas, Head Coach Carl Serrani and Assistant Coach Matt Serrani were proud of the team’s great achievement, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates the 2024 West Rutland High School Golden Horde girls’ basketball team on winning the school’s third consecutive Division IV
championship, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
West Rutland High School.
