Bill > SCR7

This joint resolution officially recognizes the Mills University Studies High School Comets boys' basketball team as the Class 4A state champions, highlighting their exceptional performance in the 2024-2025 season. The team achieved a remarkable record of 35 wins and only 1 loss, defeating the Morrilton Devil Dogs 56-51 in the championship game on March 14, 2025, at Bank OZK Arena in Hot Springs. The resolution specifically celebrates individual player achievements, including Zaylin Rowland being named Most Valuable Player, Marshall Walls scoring 19 points in the championship game, and several players receiving All-State and All-Conference Honors. The team was coached by Raymond Cooper and his assistant coaches, and the resolution notes a particularly dramatic moment when team member Anthony Hester recovered from a shocking fall in the third quarter to help lead a pivotal fourth-quarter rally. The resolution not only commemorates the team's athletic success but also formally recognizes their hard work and achievement, with a provision to provide a copy of the resolution to Head Coach Raymond Cooper.
