Summary
Senate Resolution 117 is a ceremonial measure that commends the Brusly High School boys basketball team for winning the 2026 LHSAA Division II Non-Select State Championship. The resolution highlights the team’s 45-38 victory over Wossman, notes that it was Brusly’s second state title and first since 1984, and recognizes standout performances by players such as Ben Radford, Micah Bryant, and Kazi Murray.
The resolution also praises the coaching staff, the team’s defensive effort, and the support of families, faculty, students, and the Brusly community. It is framed as a recognition of athletic achievement, teamwork, resilience, and sportsmanship, and it formally directs that copies be sent to the school principal and head coach.
Impact
SR117 does not change state law, create new legal duties, or appropriate funds. Its effect is limited to an official legislative commendation entered into the record by the Louisiana Senate, with symbolic recognition extended to Brusly High School, its players, coaches, and supporters. The resolution may be transmitted to school officials, but it has no regulatory or statutory impact.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill reflects unanimous praise for the team’s championship season, the school’s historic achievement, and the broader community support behind the run. Because it is a commendation resolution, there is no evident opposition or partisan divide in the available record.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the bill text or available legislative history. The measure is purely honorary and noncontroversial, focusing on recognition of a high school sports championship rather than policy or funding issues. No committee debate or recorded votes are available in the provided context.
