basketball team on winning the 2025 Division V State Championship; and
WHEREAS, A remarkable group of young athletes, the members of the
Portsmouth High School girls basketball team have combined talent and
spirit with the highest ideals of good sportsmanship to establish
themselves as truly exceptional competitors. With admirable

justifiable source of pride and an excellent reflection on the

coach, Amy Hughes. In leading the team to victory, Coach Hughes has
not only helped the athletes to develop their talents to the fullest
but also instilled in them a valuable sense of determination,
perseverance, and camaraderie; and
WHEREAS, With athletic competition playing such an important role
in the total education of our young people, we are extremely pleased
to commend the exemplary athletes who comprise the Portsmouth High
School girls basketball team for a job well done. The maturity and
experience the team members have gained through their participation in
sports will greatly aid them in meeting the challenges of the future;
therefore be it
