The resolution praises the team's coaching, teamwork, and character, singling out head coach John White and MVP Grant Gano for a grand slam hit during the championship run. The Senate formally congratulates the team and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake.
