In plain language

The resolution highlights the team's 29-3 season record, its total of 2,124 points scored, and a single-game high of 106 points, and it names the head coach, assistant coach, and each player on the roster. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake.
