Known as a driven and spirited squad, the members of the Union County

therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, applaud the
Union County Cougars basketball team on its success and extend best
wishes for the future; and be it further

That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Union County Cougars
