Title
To congratulate Eastmoor Academy High School's football team for a successful season and to recognize the team's numerous accomplishments.
Body
Whereas, Eastmoor Academy High School enjoyed a record-setting 2008 season having accomplished many historical firsts including:
· Hosting and winning its first playoff game
· Accomplishing its 1st Regional Championship
· Qualifying for its 1st State Championship; and
Whereas, having been denied the opportunity to compete in the playoffs in 2007, the Eastmoor team focused and rededicated themselves and set out on a mission to finish what they had started; and
Whereas, while falling one victory short of their ultimate goal, Eastmoor inspired the hearts of many, defying the odds and representing the City League and Columbus with discipline and sportsmanship; and
Whereas, Eastmoor Academy serves as a stellar example of what is right in our school system, having demonstrated that a combination of youth who believe in themselves, a strong parental support network, and a committed staff and administration, can lead to success both on the field and in the classroom; and
Whereas, Eastmoor Academy Warriors came together as a team and played as a team; no one star, but rather a group of talented players who complimented each other, who worked with each other and who believed in each other; now, therefore
Be it resolved by the council of the city of Columbus:
That we do hereby recognize and congratulate Eastmoor Academy High School's football team for a successful season and for representing the City of Columbus at the 2008 Division III State Championship.
