Summary

H.R.

The sentiment surrounding H.R. No. 20 is overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the pride and joy of the DeSoto community in the achievements of their local high school football team. The unanimous support in the resolution, with a vote count of 140 in favor and no opposition, indicates a collective appreciation for the efforts and hard work displayed by the team throughout the season. It fosters a sense of unity and celebration among the representatives who support the values of sportsmanship.

Contention
