Honoring
the Waterford High School girls basketball team on securing the 2025
Division VII State Championship.
WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to applaud the Waterford High School girls basketball team as
the 2025 Division VII State Champion; and
WHEREAS,
The Waterford High School girls basketball team is made up of
remarkable athletes who have worked diligently to showcase the
collective talents of their exceptional squad. At this year’s
Division VII State Tournament, the Wildcats won the state crown 48-46
to claim their third title in program history and avenge last
season’s state final loss, and the members amply demonstrated
impressive determination, maturity, and finesse in pursuit of this
achievement; and
WHEREAS,
This triumph reflects the staunch resolve of these young individuals,
and it signifies the acquisition of valuable experience that is sure
to benefit them in later life. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the
exceptional Waterford High School girls basketball team coaching
staff, including Head Coach Jerry Close, as well as the support of
their Wildcat community, these athletes have met the demands of an
extensive training regimen, and they have just cause for celebration;
and
WHEREAS,
All those who comprise the Waterford High School girls basketball
team have set an excellent example of what a dedicated group of
athletes can achieve when guided by a committed coaching staff and
surrounded by loyal fans, sports families, and boosters. These young
competitors have certainly proven themselves to be dynamic athletic
leaders, and we are confident that as they meet future challenges,
they will take with them the valuable lessons they have gained
through their participation in basketball; therefore be it
RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, congratulate the Waterford High
School girls basketball team on its 2025 Division VII State
Championship title and count its players and coaches among the ranks
of outstanding Ohioans; and be it further
RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to the Waterford High School girls basketball team.
