The House concurrent resolution No. R-221 congratulates the 2025 Essex High School Hornets boys volleyball team for winning the State championship. After several years of near misses, the Hornets, who entered the championship as the first seed and undefeated, faced the second-ranked Mount Mansfield Union High School Cougars in a closely contested match at St. Michael's College. The Hornets won the first set 25-22, lost the second set 25-18, but then rallied to win the third set 25-15 and clinched the championship with a final set score of 25-22, marking their first State title.

The resolution highlights the team's impressive performance and acknowledges the contributions of the players and co-head coaches Dylan Lamere and Gary Randall. It expresses the General Assembly's pride in the Hornets' achievement and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Essex High School as a formal recognition of their success.
