The maturity and experience the players have gained through participation in sports 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 Archbishop Alter High School girls soccer team on its tremendous 2019 season and salute the players and coaches as some of Ohio’s finest citizens; and be it further
