Honoring the Eastern High School girls basketball team as the 2014 Division IV State Champion.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to pay tribute to the Eastern High School girls basketball team on winning the 2014 Division IV State Championship; and

       WHEREAS,  The talented Eastern High School girls basketball team is, indeed, to be heartily commended, for by defeating a tough Bishop Rosecrans team, it has decisively earned this year's Division IV State Championship title. The 49-38 victory of the Lady Eagles reflects an extraordinary collective effort by a gifted group of athletes. Without exception, they had prepared conscientiously in pursuit of the state crown, devoting countless hours to training and practice in order to ensure peak conditioning. Clearly, this demanding regimen has paid handsome dividends; and 

       WHEREAS,  The members of the Eastern High School girls basketball team have epitomized the power, poise, and precision that befit true champions. To his credit, Coach John Burdette has guided the squad with unwavering expertise and encouragement, and he merits enthusiastic praise for coaxing admirable performances out of the Lady Eagles in each competitive outing. Despite sometimes grueling pressure, they have consistently maintained their composure and morale, exhibiting strength, speed, stamina, and agility in every challenging encounter. Time and again, they have risen to the occasion, amply demonstrating their unflagging determination, and their impressive maturity and finesse have gained them widespread respect, even among their most formidable rivals; and

       WHEREAS,  By weathering a rigorous schedule and prevailing over a host of adversaries, the members of the Eastern High School girls basketball team have learned much about dedication, self-discipline, leadership, and perseverance. Their first-place finish is a measure of their stalwart commitment to the sport, and their indomitable spirit has made their families, friends, and coaches extremely proud. This triumph attests to the staunch resolve of these young women and signifies the acquisition of valuable experience that is sure to benefit them in later life; therefore be it

       RESOLVED,  That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud the Eastern High School girls basketball team for its tremendous achievement and wish its members continued success in all of their future endeavors; and be it further

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