WHEREAS, the girls’ volleyball team from Salem High School in Virginia Beach won the 1998 Virginia High School League Group AAA state volleyball championship; and

WHEREAS, the Sun Devils earned Salem High School’s first girls’ volleyball state title and the third state championship in any sport in school history; and

WHEREAS, in the state finals, the Sun Devils faced longtime Beach District rival Frank W. Cox High School for the fourth time in the 1998 season; and

WHEREAS, in an unusually close and hard-fought match, the Sun Devils rallied from a two-games-to-one deficit to even the match by winning the fourth game by a 15 – 7 score; and

WHEREAS, in a tense fifth and deciding game, the Sun Devils faced a match point with the score 14 – 12 against them, but won four straight points under great pressure to win the game, the match, and the championship; and

WHEREAS, Head Coach Owen Dixon’s Salem Sun Devils finished their triumphant 1998 season with a record of 26 – 2 and with a well-earned state title; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly commend the Salem High School girls’ volleyball team on their superlative 1998 season; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Head Coach Owen Dixon in honor of the championship performance of the Sun Devils from Salem High School.
