Honoring the Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball team as the 2022 Division II State Champion.

WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 134th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball team on winning the 2022 Division II State Championship; and

WHEREAS,  A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball 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 Knights have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in basketball, and as a result, they defeated a tough Sheridan team by the score of 54-38 to win this year’s Division II State Championship, their fifth such title in program history, and finished the season with an impressive 28-1 record; and 

WHEREAS,  The Knights’ achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their families, their school, their community, and their co-coaches, Christina Hart and Kendal Peck. 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, coaches Hart and Peck have not only helped each athlete to develop her 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 basketball 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 134th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball team on its tremendous 2021-2022 season and salute the players and coaches as some of Ohio’s finest citizens; and be it further

RESOLVED,  That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Archbishop Alter High School girls basketball team.
