1996 SESSION
WHEREAS, the 1995 King George High School football team completed one of the finest seasons in school history; and
WHEREAS, beginning with the opening game of the season, when they scored 61 points in their first victory, the Foxes from King George were dominant; and
WHEREAS, an undefeated regular season led to the Foxes' first Battlefield District title, which they followed up with two outstanding performances in state regional play, defeating James Monroe High School, 42-22, and Harrisonburg High School, 42-0; and
WHEREAS, in the state playoffs, King George faced Matoaca High School of Chesterfield County, a school with a proud record of playoff success that had defeated the Foxes only three years previously; and
WHEREAS, relying as they had all season, on a quick and determined defense and a balanced and opportunistic offense, the Foxes came from behind to defeat Matoaca, 43-20, and advance to the state title game; and
WHEREAS, the brilliant season of Head Coach Roger Pierce's Foxes was not dimmed by their coming up short in the championship, as they finished the season with a sparkling 13-1 record and unified both the student body of King George High School and the entire King George community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly salute the Foxes from King George High School on their outstanding 1995 football 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 Roger Pierce in honor of the King George High School football team's triumphant campaign.
