House Resolution 66
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING THE WEST POINT HIGH SCHOOL GREEN WAVE FOOTBALL TEAM AND HEAD COACH CHRIS CHAMBLESS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND FOR WINNING THE MISSISSIPPI HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION CLASS 5A STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
WHEREAS, the West Point High School Green Wave Football Team and Head Coach Chris Chambless have completed an amazing season and reigned supreme throughout the playoffs to win the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 5A State Football Championship, the school's fourth straight Class 5A state championship; and
WHEREAS, the Green Wave, who had a superior season driven by more than just the yearning to succeed, intensely amplified all of their hard work and motivation, which were so apparent throughout the entire season, for the game that ultimately separated the men from the boys, to take down the Picayune High School Maroon Tide and take home the championship; and
WHEREAS, while the Green Wave walked away with the trophy after a final score of 38-26, the championship game was a test of the true Green Wave stamina, as it consisted of brutal physicality in the trenches until the last down was played; and
WHEREAS, striving all season long to be the best program in the state, West Point High School put aside the excitement, fanfare and attention to focus on the championship game and prepare as they had throughout the season, and that strategy, along with the monumental support from the entire West Point community, the booster club, the band and the cheerleaders, helped solidify championship status for the Green Wave; and
WHEREAS, throughout their season of play, the Green Wave faced off with some of the state's best contenders on the gridiron, but persevered to make their presence and talent known as gladiators of football under the Friday night lights; and
WHEREAS, the team's statistics were impressive, and there were outstanding performances by individual players, the key to this team's consistent success has been the year-round hard work by the following talented student-athletes: Jordan Rupert, Brandon Harris, Cameron Young, Jimothy Mays, Jayden Floyd, Jacoby McQuiller, Obryan Brandy, Tyron Orr, Chris Ivy, Corbin Kelley
Joqwan Young, Keon Cunningham, Dantariyus Cannon, Christopher Terry, Trey Ryland, Gray Berry, Antonio Facella, Chris Dean, Shawn Melton, Timothy Melton, Jacarius Harper, Ladorien Cox, Jakobe Pate, Kelviontae Gibbs, Timothy Mays, Jamarquez Petty, Frederick McMillian, Dahmarion Williams, Montaivious Edwards, Macorte Hoskins, Alexander Harper, Donte Smith, Tyun Robinson, Joseph Vance, Kristian Bennett, Dartavius Moseley, Jay Quinn, Christopher Chandler, Denarrion Tallie, Jaquarius Thomas, Omar Starks, Jaylin Rush, Vashawn Ross, Thomas Robinson, Xavier Moody, Traevon Banks, TJ Anderson, Cameron Johnson, Bryson Thomas, Robert Spearmon, Miller Conn, Jaekwon Bradshaw, Lajaylon Sykes, Iverion Cungious, Frank Bean, Justin Collins, Jalen Brown, Dontavius Myers, Xavier Collins, Manuel Garcia, Jaquavis Young, Chad Brooks, Maleek McKie,

WHEREAS, Head Coach Chris Chambless has superbly coached and inspired the Green Wave and broadened their knowledge of the game while refining their skills in execution, and he continues to build upon the legacy of superior play and true sportsmanship forged by the tenacious and undaunted spirit of each team member, as evidenced in his ability to produce high caliber players and plays and by the team's successful season; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize and honor the achievements of exceptional student-athletes, especially those such as the West Point High School Green Wave Football Team, who have brought honor to their school, the West Point community and to the State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the West Point High School Green Wave Football Team and Head Coach Chris Chambless for an outstanding season and for winning the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 5A State Football Championship, and extend best wishes to the team and coaches for continued success in all of their future endeavors.
