This resolution congratulates the Chicago Christian school system on its upcoming 125th anniversary and recognizes the remarkable achievements of the 2024 Chicago Christian High School football team, the Knights, who won the Class 2A State Championship. The resolution highlights the school system's long-standing history since its establishment in 1900, and details the extraordinary performance of the football team, which finished the season with a 13-1 record and secured the first state championship in the school's history. The resolution specifically celebrates key players like quarterback Christian Flutman and running back Kenny Jager, who demonstrated exceptional athletic skills, and notes the team's impressive defensive performance, which set a state record by holding their championship game opponent to just 23 total yards. The resolution not only honors the team's athletic success but also acknowledges the school's leadership, including Superintendent Mark Hamstra and Head Coach CJ Cesario, and formally recognizes the historic achievement of the Knights football team by directing that copies of the resolution be provided to the school's leadership and team members.
