WHEREAS, the Clarke County High School boys’ soccer team secured its first state title in more than 15 years, finishing an undefeated season with a victory in the Virginia High School League Class 2 state championship in 2022; and

WHEREAS, the Clarke County High School Eagles defeated the previously unbeaten Glenvar High School Highlanders by a score of 3–2 to claim the state crown; and

WHEREAS, when the Glenvar Highlanders scored first, the Clarke County Eagles faced a deficit for the first time all season but maintained their composure and reclaimed the lead before halftime with two goals from sophomore Cal Beckett; and

WHEREAS, senior Caleb Neiman added a third goal for the Clarke County Eagles early in the second half, but their opponents kept up the pressure, and the team withstood a determined attack before sealing the victory; and

WHEREAS, throughout the season, the Clarke County Eagles dominated the flow of their games with unparalleled passing and possession skills and outscored opponents 163–8; the team’s 24–0 record likely represents the most ever wins in a single season in program history; and

WHEREAS, the state championship victory is a tribute to the skill and hard work of all the student-athletes, the leadership and guidance of coaches and staff, and the dedicated support of the entire Clarke County High School community; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, That the Clarke County High School boys’ soccer team hereby be commended on winning the Virginia High School League Class 2 state championship in 2022; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to the Clarke County High School boys’ soccer team as an expression of the House of Delegates’ admiration for the team’s achievements and best wishes for the future.
