SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 152 Commending the Phoebus High School football team. Agreed to by the Senate, February 4, 2010 Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 12, 2010

WHEREAS, the Phoebus High School football team defeated Stone Bridge High School in the hard-fought 15�10 state championship game to take home the Group AAA, Division 5 title before an enthusiastic crowd at Scott Stadium in Charlottesville; and

WHEREAS, the win marked the second year in a row that the powerhouse Phoebus High School Phantoms won the state championship; the Phantoms have won three of the last four state championship games, five titles this decade, and 30 wins overall; and

WHEREAS, Phoebus High School became only the second program in Virginia High School League history to win five championships in one decade; and

WHEREAS, tailback Colby Goodwyn started the Phantoms off with a touchdown in the first five minutes of the game, and at the start of the third quarter took the kickoff at the Phantoms' one-yard line to run 99 yards to score the second touchdown of the game; and

WHEREAS, while the Stone Bridge High School Bulldogs played an excellent game, the Phantoms' outstanding defense held the Bulldogs to just one touchdown late in the third quarter; and

WHEREAS, the state championship win marked the end of a remarkable season and months of hard work and training on the part of the players and coaching staff; and

WHEREAS, the triumphant performance of the Phantoms is a tribute to the talent, dedication, and perseverance of the players; the leadership of Head Coach Stan Sexton and his hardworking staff; and the tremendous support of the parents, students, and faculty of Phoebus High School; and

WHEREAS, the Phantoms finished the season with a perfect 15�0 record and look forward to playing championship football again next year; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the General Assembly commend the Phoebus High School football team for its Group AAA, Division 5 championship win; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Head Coach Stan Sexton as an expression of the General Assembly's congratulations and admiration for the team's outstanding performance.
