A RESOLUTION
Honoring the Norwalk High School boys basketball team on winning the 2014 Division II State Championship.

       WHEREAS,  The members of the House of Representatives of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to the Norwalk High School boys basketball team as the 2014 Division II State Champion; and

       WHEREAS,  The talented Norwalk High School boys basketball team is, indeed, to be heartily commended, for by defeating a strong Bishop Watterson team, it has decisively earned this year's Division II State title. The Truckers' 65-58 victory, which capped a 29-1 season, 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, and clearly, this demanding regimen has paid handsome dividends; and 

       WHEREAS,  The members of the Norwalk High School boys basketball team have epitomized the power, poise, and precision that befit true champions. To his credit, Coach Steve Gray has guided the squad with unwavering expertise and encouragement, and he merits enthusiastic praise for coaxing admirable performances out of the Truckers 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 earned 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 Norwalk High School boys 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 coach extremely proud. This triumph attests to the staunch resolve of these young men 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 Norwalk High School boys basketball team on its brilliant 2013-2014 season and extend best wishes for the years to come; and be it further

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