Hinds Community College - Raymond Cheer Team; commend upon winning 2025 UCA National Championship in Open Small Co-Ed Game Day Division.
Summary
House Resolution 24 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Hinds Community College Raymond Cheer Team for winning the 2025 UCA National Championship in the Open Small Co-Ed Game Day Division. The resolution recounts the team’s narrow victory over Coastal Alabama Community College, highlights the team’s score of 90.7 with no deductions, and notes the leadership of first-year Head Coach Kadin Adcox.
The resolution emphasizes the adversity the team overcame, including the coach balancing a new job and caring for a newborn son, and the late injury of team member Chris Williams, which forced the squad to adjust its routine before competing. It lists the team members and frames the championship as a source of pride for Hinds Community College and the State of Mississippi, while extending congratulations and best wishes for future success.
Impact
HR24 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is limited to formal legislative recognition and commendation of a Mississippi community college cheer team, with copies of the resolution to be sent to the coach, the college administration, and the Capitol Press Corps. The only practical impact is symbolic, reinforcing the House’s practice of honoring outstanding student-athletes and publicizing the team’s achievement.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text presents the team’s win as a historic accomplishment and a point of pride for Hinds Community College and Mississippi more broadly. No votes or committee transcripts are provided, but the adopted House resolution and its congratulatory tone indicate broad support and no apparent controversy.
Contention
There is no substantive policy contention in this resolution because it is purely honorary. The only potentially notable discussion points are the competitive context of the championship, including the close margin over Coastal Alabama Community College and the mention of East Mississippi Community College finishing third, but these are presented as part of the celebration rather than as points of disagreement. No opposition, amendments, or recorded debate are included in the provided materials.
