This resolution, a Senate Resolution from the Indiana General Assembly, honors Coach James Blackmon, Sr. upon his retirement, recognizing his significant contributions to basketball both as a player and a coach. The resolution highlights his impressive scoring record at Marion High School, his accolades as an Indiana All-Star and McDonald's All-American, and his induction into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. It further commends his coaching career, including leading Fort Wayne Bishop Luers High School to state championships and his long tenure and success with the Marion Giants, culminating in a Class 3A state championship title and the renaming of the playing floor at the Bill Green Athletic Arena to the "James Blackmon Sr. Court" in his honor. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of this commendation to Coach Blackmon and Marion High School.
