Bill > SR0099

This resolution congratulates the Chicago Christian school system on its upcoming 125th anniversary and celebrates the remarkable achievements of the 2024 Chicago Christian High School football team, the Knights. Established in 1900, the school system spans preschool through high school in the southwest Chicago suburbs and achieved a historic milestone by winning its first-ever state championship in football. The resolution highlights the team's exceptional performance, including their 13-1 season record and a dominating 47-0 victory over the Maroa-Forsyth Trojans in the Class 2A State Championship game on November 29, 2024. Notably, the team set a state record by holding their opponents to just 23 total yards in the championship game, the lowest in Illinois state history. The resolution specifically recognizes key players like quarterback Christian Flutman, running back Kenny Jager, and lineman Brock Sperling for their outstanding individual performances and contributions to the team's success. The document concludes by calling for copies of the resolution to be provided to Superintendent Mark Hamstra, Coach CJ Cesario, and the championship football team.
