|---|
| 5 | | - | No. R-110. House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2025 Burlington High |
|---|
| 6 | | - | School Seahorses Division I championship girls’ basketball team. |
|---|
| 7 | | - | (H.C.R.90) |

|---|
| 9 | | - | Burlington, Duke of Burlington, Headrick of Burlington, Hooper of Burlington, Kleppner |
|---|
| 10 | | - | of Burlington, Krowinski of Burlington, Logan of Burlington, Ode of Burlington, and |
|---|
| 11 | | - | Stone of Burlington |
|---|
| 12 | | - | Offered by Senators Gulick, Baruth, Chittenden, Lyons, Ram Hinsdale, Vyhovsky, |
|---|
| 13 | | - | Beck, Brennan, Clarkson, Collamore, Cummings, Douglass, Hardy, Harrison, Hart, |
|---|
| 14 | | - | Major, Mattos, Perchlik, Weeks, Westman, White, and Williams |
|---|
| 15 | | - | Whereas, 49 years is an extraordinary interval between earning championship titles, or |
|---|
| 16 | | - | even playing in this decisive game, but that was the Seahorses’ legacy, and in 2025, they |
|---|
| 17 | | - | were determined to end this prolonged drought on both scores, and |
|---|
| 18 | | - | Whereas, fielding a talented third-seeded team, Burlington tipped off at the University |
|---|
| 19 | | - | of Vermont’s Patrick Gymnasium before a cheering hometown crowd against the top- |
|---|
| 20 | | - | seeded St. Johnsbury Academy Hilltoppers, and |
|---|
| 21 | | - | Whereas, Burlington emerged onto the court after Wanda Hines, a special fan and |
|---|
| 22 | | - | supporter, and a Seahorses MVP in 1975 and 1976 (the last two years the team won a |
|---|
| 23 | | - | divisional championship), delivered an inspiring pre-game pep talk to the players, and |
|---|
| 24 | | - | Whereas, the highly motivated Seahorses were in command throughout the game, |
|---|
| 25 | | - | developing a first-quarter 18-point lead, and with two of the girls scoring 20 points each, |
|---|
| 26 | | - | the 53–33 victory was most satisfying but hardly surprising, and |
|---|
| 27 | | - | Whereas, the history-making Seahorses (19–4) were Emma Maley, Nylah Mitchell, |
|---|
| 28 | | - | Bree McDonald, Mae Yenkavitch, Hawa Mubarak, Sienna Pitts, Rowan Thomas- |
|---|
| 29 | | - | Demeritt, Harper Gutheim, Roslen Wallstrom, Rosa Kori, and Elizabeth Lorrain, and |
|---|
| 30 | | - | Whereas, Head Coach Beverlis Robertson, assistant coaches Brittany Robertson and |
|---|
| 31 | | - | Klaire Ware, and Manager Livia Jatlow-Carter were stupendous teachers and supporters, |
|---|
| 32 | | - | now therefore be it |
