This resolution celebrates Samantha Massey, a seventh-grade student from Mount Markham, for winning the New York State Public High School Athletic Association's (NYSPHSAA) inaugural Section III Girls Wrestling Championship at 94 pounds. Held at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York, on February 27, 2025, Massey dominated the tournament as the No. 1 seed, securing four victories with two first-period pins and two technical falls, and winning the final match in less than a minute against her sixth-seeded opponent. The resolution highlights her impressive first varsity year performance, where she finished with a 39-2 record and remained undefeated against other girls. It also acknowledges the support of her coaches John Hoke, Brandon Yager, and Laken Cook, and emphasizes how her achievement brings honor to her school and community. The legislative body officially congratulates Massey and resolves to transmit copies of the resolution to her and her coaching staff, recognizing her athletic excellence and contribution to the spirit of competition.
