WHEREAS, the Lord Botetourt High School volleyball team of Daleville won the 2017 Virginia High School League Class 3 state championship on November 18, 2017, at the Siegel Center in Richmond, securing its first state title; and
WHEREAS, the victory in the state final cemented an unblemished 31 - 0 season for the Lord Botetourt High School Cavaliers, who regularly dominated their opposition and only dropped four sets all year; and
WHEREAS, in the championship game, the Lord Botetourt Cavaliers cruised to victory over the Warren County High School Wildcats 25 - 14, 25 - 12, and 25 - 17; in claiming the state title, the Lord Botetourt Cavaliers snapped the Warren County Wildcats' own 17-game winning streak; and
WHEREAS, the Lord Botetourt High School volleyball team relied on excellent ball movement and commanding net play in the state final; sophomore Miette Veldman and junior Brooklyn Shelton both racked up 11 kills, senior Lara Veldman recorded 10 kills, and sophomore Jordyn Kepler dished out 43 assists; and
WHEREAS, the Lord Botetourt Cavaliers also benefited from a stingy defense; in the state final, Lara Veldman notched 14 digs and Kenleigh Gunter recorded 13; and
WHEREAS, the Lord Botetourt Cavaliers' undefeated season is made all the more impressive by its young roster, which features only one senior; and
WHEREAS, the Lord Botetourt High School volleyball team's state championship victory is a testament to the talent and dedication of its student-athletes, the excellent guidance of its coaches, and the passionate support of family members, friends, and the entire Lord Botetourt High School community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the Lord Botetourt High School volleyball team hereby be commended on winning the 2017 Virginia High School League Class 3 state championship; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Julie Conner, head coach of the Lord Botetourt High School volleyball team, as an expression of the House of Delegates' admiration for the team's undefeated season and best wishes for continued success.
