Bill > HJR7018

This Joint Resolution honors and commends Coach Jason Reuter of Bradley County High School (BCHS) upon his retirement after sixteen remarkable years leading the Bearettes girls' basketball program. Contextually, a joint resolution is a legislative measure passed by both chambers of a state government—in this case, the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate—to express official commendations or sentiments without creating a new law. During his highly successful coaching career, which followed his own standout playing days and early assistant coaching positions, Reuter achieved an extraordinary overall record of 489-46, winning over 91 percent of his games and capturing numerous district and regional titles. Beyond these athletic achievements, which include multiple Coach of the Year honors (such as from the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, or TSSAA, and MaxPreps), Reuter helped thirty-four players advance to collegiate basketball, developed standout athletes like WNBA players and Olympic medalists, and plans to continue positively influencing students as a teacher at BCHS.
