WHEREAS, for the second consecutive year, and the third year in the past four years, the Salem High School football team won the Virginia High School League Group AA, Division 4 state football championship; and

WHEREAS, in the state title game, the Park View Patriots scored two quick touchdowns and appeared able to score at will against the Spartans’ defense, but a long pass play that led to a touchdown put the Spartans back in the game; and

WHEREAS, with a newly inspired defense and a strong and diversified attack, the Spartans scored in the second, third, and fourth quarters, then turned back a last ditch effort by the Patriots to win the title; and

WHEREAS, the inspired coaching of Head Coach Willis White and his staff, combined with the talent, desire, and teamwork of the athletes, has produced a football dynasty at Salem High School that has produced yet another state championship for the City of Salem; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly commend and congratulate the Spartans of Salem High School on their second consecutive perfect season; and, be it
