The resolution recounts Holder's coaching record, including a 588-183 career baseball record, eight state championships, a 61-game winning streak, an undefeated 1989 season, and prior inductions into three other coaching halls of fame. The Senate formally congratulates him and directs the Secretary of the Senate to provide him a copy of the resolution.
