House Resolution 0957 is a congratulatory resolution honoring the St. Mary School 6th Grade Girls Volleyball Team in Riverside for winning the 2026 Classic League season championship. The resolution also recognizes the broader St. Mary volleyball program for an especially successful season, noting that the school’s 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teams collectively earned eight trophies, including league titles, second-place finishes, and championship victories.
The measure highlights individual student-athletes by name, credits the team’s success to Coaches Dina Acosta and Ted Kos, and gives special recognition to Volleyball Director Lucia Roden and the rest of the coaching staff. It concludes by directing that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to the school administration, coaches, and players as an expression of esteem and respect.
HR0957 does not change Illinois statutes, create new legal duties, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it formally recognizes a local school sports team and its coaches, and it serves as an official commendation entered by the Illinois House of Representatives.
The sentiment around the resolution is wholly positive and celebratory. The text reflects praise for youth athletics, teamwork, dedication, leadership, and community pride, and there is no evidence of opposition or controversy in the bill text or available legislative history. No votes or committee transcripts are provided, suggesting the measure was likely noncontroversial.
There are no notable points of contention in the available materials. Because the resolution is purely honorary and focused on a school volleyball team’s accomplishments, it does not appear to raise policy disagreements, fiscal concerns, or legal issues. The only substantive content is recognition of the team, coaches, and program for their achievements.
