TO RECOGNIZE THE LITTLE ROCK HALL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM AS THE 2026 CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONS.

Summary

House Resolution 1035 is a ceremonial measure recognizing the Little Rock Hall High School Warriors boys' basketball team as the 2026 Class 4A state champions. The resolution recounts the team’s 59-54 victory over Mills University Studies High School in the state championship game at Bank OZK Arena in Hot Springs on March 13, 2026, and notes that this was the program’s eleventh state title and fourth under Head Coach Jon Coleman. The resolution also identifies the team members, coaching staff, athletic trainers, and school administrators who supported the championship season, and it highlights Landen Hill as the Most Valuable Player of the championship game. It further states that, upon adoption, a copy of the resolution will be presented to Coach Coleman by the Chief Clerk of the House.

Impact

HR1035 does not change Arkansas law, create new programs, or appropriate funds; it is a nonbinding honorary resolution. Its practical effect is to place the General Assembly’s official recognition on the record and to formally commend the Little Rock Hall High School boys’ basketball team, its coaches, and school community for winning the Class 4A state championship.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The bill was read and adopted, indicating broad support and no recorded opposition in the available history. The language of the resolution emphasizes pride in the team’s accomplishment, the coaching staff’s leadership, and the school’s support network.

Contention

There is no notable policy contention because the resolution is purely commemorative. The only substantive focus is on recognition of the championship team and the individuals associated with the program, rather than on any legal or fiscal issue. No committee debate or vote controversy is reflected in the available record.
