Title

To congratulate the Africentric Girls Basketball team on winning the Division IV State Championship title.

Body

Whereas, the Africentric Girls Basketball team has an overall record of 125-26 after 6 years; and

Whereas, the Africentric Girls Basketball team has won four straight City League Championships, five straight District Championships, and three straight Regional Championships; and

Whereas, Africentric is the 1^st and only female city league team to win two State Championships; and

Whereas, Africentric is the only girls public school team to win a State Championship in 2009, with the rest being won by private schools; and

Whereas, the Lady Nubians won their second title in three years by forcing 17 turnovers, limiting their opponents to 25 percent shooting in the second half and going after rebounds aggressively; and

Whereas, the Lady Nubians 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 congratulate the Africentric Girls Basketball team and recognize them as the 2009 Division IV State Champions.
