The Senate commends the players and coaching staff for their speed, precision, and strength, as well as their ability to learn valuable life lessons through basketball. The resolution also calls for a copy of the resolution to be presented to Principal Matt Sherman and Coach Schaeffer, recognizing the pride and achievement the team has brought to their school and community.
