WHEREAS,
The members of the House of Representatives of the 136th General
Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate the Trotwood-Madison
High School boys basketball team on winning the 2026 Division III
State Championship; and
WHEREAS,
A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the
Trotwood-Madison High School boys basketball team have combined
talent and spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to
establish themselves as truly exceptional competitors. With admirable
dedication, the Rams have worked diligently toward attaining ultimate
proficiency in basketball, and as a result, they defeated a tough
Steubenville team by the score of 48‑47 to win this year's
Division III State Championship, their second such title in program
history, and finished the season with an impressive 23-4 record; and
WHEREAS,
The Rams' achievements and leadership are a justifiable source of
pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their families,
their school, the Trotwood community, and their coaches. In leading
their team to victory, Coach Carl Blanton, Sr., and his assistants
have not only helped the athletes to develop their talents to the
fullest but have also instilled in them a valuable sense of
determination, perseverance, and camaraderie; and
WHEREAS,
With athletic competition playing such an important role in the total
education of our young people, we are extremely pleased to pay
tribute to these exemplary athletes and their outstanding coaches for
a job well done. The maturity and experience the team members have
gained through their participation in sports will greatly aid them in
meeting the challenges of the future; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 136th
General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the
Trotwood-Madison High School boys basketball team on its tremendous
season and salute the members and coaches as some of Ohio's finest
citizens; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly
authenticated copy of this Resolution to the Trotwood-Madison High
School boys basketball team.
