WHEREAS, by defeating previously undefeated Deep Creek High School of Chesapeake, the Patriots from Patrick Henry returned to Hanover County with their school's first-ever state championship in any team sport; and
WHEREAS, the Patriots also became the first football team from the Central Region to win a Group AAA football championship in 15 years; and
WHEREAS, relying on a dominant offensive line, a quick and elusive backfield, and a hard-hitting and opportunistic defense, Coach Ray Long's Patriots finished the season with an unblemished record of 14-0; and
WHEREAS, a dominant team throughout the season, the Patriots overcame the disappointment of last year's loss in the state tournament semi-finals; and
WHEREAS, a team led by its seniors, many of whom have played together since elementary school, the Patriots of Patrick Henry High School proved themselves worthy champions and fine representatives of their school, the Hanover community, and the Central Region; now, therefore, be it
