House Resolution 55 commends the Hathaway High School Lady Hornets basketball team for winning the Louisiana High School Athletic Association 2023 Division V state championship. This historic victory marks the program's first state championship in over fifty years, with their last title achieved in 1970. The resolution highlights the team's significant efforts and resilience, particularly noting their previous losses in the championship games of 2010, 2020, and 2021 against the same opponent, the Fairview High School Lady Panthers.
