A RESOLUTION honoring the Calloway County Girls Basketball team on their Kentucky 2A State Championship win and tremendous 2025-2026 season.

Summary

SR175 is a simple commendatory Senate resolution honoring the Calloway County Girls Basketball team, the Lady Lakers, for winning the 2026 Kentucky 2A State Championship. The resolution highlights the team’s 49-46 victory over Taylor County, the contributions of senior leaders Sayler Lowe and Jaidan Koch, and the team’s overall 33-3 record, including an undefeated regional season and wins in the 2A Sectional and state tournament. The resolution also recognizes head coach Kirsten Collins and the full roster of players for their athletic achievement, teamwork, and dedication throughout the 2025-2026 season. It directs that the Senate adjourn in recognition of the team and that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to Senator Jason Howell.

Impact

SR175 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is ceremonial only: it formally expresses the Senate’s recognition of the Calloway County Girls Basketball team and records that recognition in the legislative journal. The resolution affects no statutes or regulated parties beyond the symbolic honor bestowed on the team and its coach.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and celebratory. The resolution was adopted by voice vote, indicating broad, noncontroversial support. The text itself reflects praise for the team’s hard work, athleticism, and accomplishments, and there is no indication of opposition or debate in the available context.

Contention

There is no notable contention in the available record. The measure is a congratulatory resolution focused on a local high school sports team, and the absence of committee transcripts or recorded dissent suggests it was treated as a routine honorary item. Any discussion appears limited to recognition of the team’s championship season, coaching, and senior leadership.
