A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION congratulating the Indianapolis
Bishop Chatard football team on winning the 3A state championship.
Whereas,
The Indianapolis Bishop Chatard football team
used a powerful running game, led by Ryan Kleinschmidt, to
a 28-14 victory over South Bend St. Joseph's in the Class 3A
state championship game;
Whereas, With the victory, Bishop Chatard became the
first school to win 10 Indiana football championships, an
unprecedented accomplishment in the Indiana High School
Athletic Association (IHSAA) record book;
Whereas, Four turnovers were crucial in Bishop
Chatard's victory. The first turnover by South Bend came in
the first quarter, when the shotgun snap went over
quarterback Max Matthews' head, and linebacker Nolan
Miller picked up the ball and ran 60 yards for a touchdown,
giving Bishop Chatard a 14-0 lead. The three other forced
turnovers were by interception;
Whereas, Bishop Chatard running back Ryan
Kleinschmidt tied a 3A state championship record with 247
yards rushing. He got those yards on 41 carries, which was
significant because that mark set a new 3A game record for
attempts. He also had two touchdowns on the day;
Whereas, The passing game of Bishop Chatard, led by quarterback Stephen DeSchryver, was instrumental in putting the game away in the 4th quarter. DeSchryver completed three of four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown that gave Bishop Chatard a 14 point lead with 6:28 left in the 4th quarter. DeSchryver finished the day 9 of 13 for 115 yards in the game;
Whereas, After the game, Bishop Chatard's Joseph
Fehribach was selected by the IHSAA Executive Committee
as the winner of the Phil N. Eskew Mental Attitude Award in
3A football. The award is presented annually to a senior in
each classification who best demonstrates excellence in
mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability.
Fehribach serves as student council president, is class
president for the third consecutive year, is a member of the
retreat team and the National Honor Society;
Whereas, Head Coach Vince Lorenzano, who made his
seventh state finals appearance, has led Bishop Chatard to
their last four state championships. Bishop Chatard finished
the season with 10 straight wins after a 1-4 start and
outscored its six postseason opponents by a 230-59 margin;
and
Whereas, The Indianapolis Bishop Chatard football
team's unprecedented 10th state championship is an
incredible accomplishment and worthy of enormous praise:

Bishop Chatard football team on winning the 3A state championship.
