2014 SESSION
14103753DWHEREAS, on December 13, 2013, at Liberty University’s Williams Stadium, after eight long years and two unsuccessful runs at the state championship crown, the Dinwiddie High School Generals football team trounced the Sherando High School Warriors football team, 56 - 14, to claim the Virginia High School League Group 4A championship; and
WHEREAS, the Sherando High School Warriors, in their fourth championship game appearance in school history, scored first in the game with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Reid Entsminger to Daniel Eppard with six minutes remaining in the first quarter; and
WHEREAS, using the “fake punt,” a successful tactic of the Warriors, Dinwiddie Generals running back, Ja’Quan Poarch sprinted easily up the sideline without interference and was tackled at the Sherando 12-yard line, and three plays later, the Generals’ spectacular running back Sadarius Williams scored the first of his two touchdowns from one yard out to tie the game 7 - 7; and
WHEREAS, the Generals rallied to force five Warriors turnovers and converted all of the fumbles and an interception into touchdowns, with the first three occurring in the first half of the game; with two minutes and 10 seconds left in the first half, the Dinwiddie Generals, never looking back, went on to win the game 56 - 14; and
WHEREAS, the Warriors entered the game averaging 372.9 yards of offense; however, the Generals held the team to 316 yards, with only 88 passing yards; and
WHEREAS, the Dinwiddie Generals team ran the ball with quickness, elusiveness, and sheer physicality, abilities the Sherando Warriors had trouble overcoming; and
WHEREAS, both teams played with impressive fortitude, passion, and sportsmanship, and the exciting game is a testament to the hard work, sacrifice, coaching, and unwavering determination of the Dinwiddie Generals to reach the team’s long-sought goal; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the Dinwiddie High School Generals football team hereby be commended on winning the Virginia High School League Group 4A championship; and, be it
RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to William Mills, head coach of the Dinwiddie High School Generals football team, requesting that he further disseminate copies of this resolution to members of the football team that they may be apprised of the General Assembly’s pride in the team’s achievement.
