Summary

House Resolution 1070 (HR1070) commends the Salem High School Lady Greyhounds basketball team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2023 Class 3A Girls Basketball State Championship. The resolution celebrates the team's exceptional season, which concluded with an impressive record of 30 wins and only 4 losses.
