Summary
Senate Resolution SR0046 is a commendatory resolution recognizing the accomplishments of the Martinsville Tabernacle Christian School girls basketball team. The resolution specifically congratulates the team for winning the 2024 Indiana Association of Christian Schools (IACS) state championship title. This victory marks a significant achievement as it represents the team's sixth consecutive state championship title.
Contention
