Honoring

State Champion.
WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to congratulate the Kenton Ridge High School softball team on
winning the 2025 Division IV State Championship; and
WHEREAS,
A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the Kenton Ridge
High School softball team have combined talent and spirit with the
highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish themselves as truly
exceptional competitors. With admirable dedication, the Cougars have
worked diligently toward attaining ultimate proficiency in softball,
and as a result, they defeated a tough Hillsboro team by the score of
9-0 to win this year’s Division IV State Championship, the first
such title in Clark County history, and finished the season with a
perfect 32-0 record; and
WHEREAS,
The Cougars’ achievements and leadership are a justifiable source
of pride and an excellent reflection on the players, their families,
their school, their community, and their coaches. In leading this
team to victory, Head Coach Sarah Schalnat and her assistants have
not only helped the athletes to develop their talents to the fullest
but 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 Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, commend the Kenton Ridge High
School softball 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 Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to the Kenton Ridge High School softball team.
