    6         WHEREAS, talent, skill, and commitment combined with
    7  exemplary teamwork to produce a winning football season for the
    8  Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School Cougars, who won the
    9  Florida High School Athletic Association Class 1S state
   10  championship on December 8, 2023, and
   11         WHEREAS, the victory was especially noteworthy, given that
   12  Cardinal Mooney players, fans, and alumni of the Sarasota high
   13  school had not celebrated a state football title win in more
   14  than 50 years, and
   15         WHEREAS, the grand finale of the Cougars’ successful 2023
   16  season took place at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee in a
   17  title game against Ocala’s Trinity Catholic High School, with
   18  Cardinal Mooney winning 31-27 in a contest that was not decided
   19  until the final minutes of the game, and
   20         WHEREAS, under the guidance and leadership of Head Coach
   21  Jared Clark, who is an alumnus of Cardinal Mooney High, the
   22  Cougars performed as true champions, finishing the 2023 season
   23  with a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, and
   24         WHEREAS, in particular, the members of the team’s senior
   25  class played a significant role in the Cougars’ football success
   26  on both offense and defense, and but all of the players on this
   27  state championship team will look back on their athletic
   28  accomplishment with pride for years to come, NOW, THEREFORE,
   29  
   30  Be It Resolved by the Senate of the State of Florida:
   31  
   32         That the Senate celebrates the Cardinal Mooney Catholic
   33  High School Cougars’ 2023 Class 1S state football championship.
   34         BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution, with
   35  the Seal of the Senate affixed, be presented to Cardinal Mooney
   36  Principal Ben Hopper, Cougars Head Coach Jared Clark and the
   37  team as a tangible token of the sentiments of the Florida
   38  Senate.
