Honoring the Dublin Jerome High School boys lacrosse team as the 2023 Division I State Champion.
The adoption of SR135 serves to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of high school athletes in Ohio, highlighting the importance of sports in developing traits such as discipline and teamwork. This resolution contributes to the promotion of athletic programs within schools, encouraging student participation in sports and fostering school spirit. By officially acknowledging the team's victory, the bill reinforces the value placed on education-based athletics within the state.
Senate Resolution 135 (SR135) honors the Dublin Jerome High School boys lacrosse team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2023 Division I State Championship. The resolution commends the players for their talent, conditioning, and the respect they earned from fans and opponents alike. Under the guidance of Coach Andy Asmo, the team displayed not only superior athletic abilities but also great teamwork and dedication throughout the season, culminating in their championship victory.
While SR135 is largely a positive acknowledgment, the focus on high school sports could generate discussions on budget allocations for athletic programs versus academic funding. Some may argue for increased resources to be allocated to academic success and support, given the challenges schools face in balancing education quality with athletics. Nevertheless, the resolution itself remains a unifying moment, celebrating a specific team's success rather than provoking significant contention.
