Caption

Congratulating Terry Gambill on his retirement as head coach of the Allen High School football team.

Impact

The resolution does not enact changes to state law, as it primarily serves to acknowledge and celebrate an individual's achievements rather than implement new legislation. However, it enhances community morale and fosters a sense of pride in local accomplishments in educational settings, particularly in high school athletics. Such resolutions play an essential role in recognizing the impact of educators and coaches on student athletes and community identity.

Summary

Under his leadership, the team achieved an impressive record and secured a state championship title in 2017.

Sentiment

The resolution is a formal way for the legislature to show admiration for his contributions, and such acknowledgments generally foster goodwill within the community and among supporters of high school sports.

Contention
