Honoring the University of Cincinnati football team as the 2018 Military Bowl Champion.

WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 133rd General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the University of Cincinnati football team on winning the 2018 Military Bowl; and

WHEREAS,  A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the University of Cincinnati football team have combined talent and competitive spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as a truly exceptional squad. With admirable dedication, the Bearcats have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in football, and as a result, they defeated a tough Virginia Tech team by the score of 35-31 to win the 2018 Military Bowl Championship title and finished the season with an impressive 11-2 record; and 

WHEREAS,  The Bearcats’ achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their families, their school, their community, and their coaches. The success of any athletic endeavor depends largely on the ability of the coaches to provide both guidance and inspiration, and in leading their team to victory, Coach Luke Fickell and his assistants have not only helped each athlete to develop his talents to the fullest but also instilled in each a valuable sense of determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and

WHEREAS,  With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay tribute to these exemplary athletes and their outstanding coaches for a job well done. The maturity and experience the team members have gained through their participation in football will greatly aid them in meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it

RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 133rd General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the University of Cincinnati football team on its tremendous 2018 season and salute the players and coaches as fine citizens; and be it further

RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the University of Cincinnati football team.
