Bill > HR0088

This resolution congratulates the Calhoun High School girls volleyball team, the Warriors, on winning the 2024-2025 Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Class 1A Girls Volleyball State Championship, marking their first state title in school history. The team achieved victory by defeating Cissna Park in the semifinals and Stockton in the finals, with notable performances from players like senior Joy Hurley (10 kills), senior Kate Zipprich (six kills and five solo blocks), and junior Stella Gress (12 digs). The resolution highlights that this championship is particularly significant because Calhoun High School has become the first public school in Illinois to win state championships in three sports (volleyball, basketball, and softball), and the team set a school record with a 39-2 season record. The resolution recognizes the team's coaches, Melissa Zipprich and Ann Gilman, and lists all team members, with special mention of Kate Zipprich as the State Final MVP who broke the state record for most blocks in a championship match. The document formally congratulates the team and resolves to present copies of the resolution to the coaches and players as a symbol of respect and recognition.
