WHEREAS, the Loudoun County High School volleyball team displayed exceptional skill, strength, and determination by winning the Virginia High School League Group 4A state championship on November 23, 2013; and

WHEREAS, the 2013 state championship for the team from Leesburg is the Loudoun County Raiders’ sixth state title in the past seven years; and

WHEREAS, in winning the championship against a talented squad from Jamestown High School, the Loudoun County High School Raiders posted their 49th consecutive match victory and completed their second undefeated season; and

WHEREAS, after winning the first set of the championship match and losing the second set, the Loudoun County High School volleyball team rallied to win the third and fourth sets to clinch the championship; the match was held in Richmond at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Siegel Center; and

WHEREAS, the six-time champion Loudoun County Raiders were led by head coach Jenica Brown and assistant coach Jarod Brown and managed by Katherine Knoblock, Megan Carran, and Carlos Tingle; and

WHEREAS, each athlete—seniors Kelsey Anderson, Jane Feddersen, Maggie Phillips, Mandy Powers, and Kelsey Slack; juniors Olivia Aycock, Madison Batts, Hannah Brenneman, Ciara Kain, Emily Solis, Hannah Vandegrift, and Addi Williams; sophomores Taylor Borup, Alyssa Paige, Lauren Topper, Rachel Voketaitis, and Abby Wright; and freshman Rachael Cullen—contributed immeasurably to the victory; and

WHEREAS, the victory was all the more appreciated because Jenica Brown announced her retirement as head coach in January 2014, less than two months after the team won the state title; she had ably led the Loudoun County High School volleyball team for 12 seasons; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend the 2013 Loudoun County High School volleyball team for winning the Virginia High School League Group 4A state volleyball championship; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare copies of this resolution for presentation to Jenica Brown, head coach of the Loudoun County High School volleyball team, and Jarod Brown, assistant coach of the Loudoun County High School volleyball team, as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration for the team’s skill, determination, and strength.
