Congratulating the Penn Yan Academy Boys Varsity Lacrosse Team upon the occasion of capturing the 2025 NYSPHSAA Class D Boys Lacrosse Championship
Summary
K01080 is a ceremonial Assembly Resolution that congratulates the Penn Yan Academy Boys Varsity Lacrosse Team for winning the 2025 NYSPHSAA Class D Boys Lacrosse Championship. The resolution highlights the team’s 11-8 victory over Chenango Forks at Hobart and William Smith’s Boswell Field on June 14, 2025, and notes that the team finished the season 21-2. It also emphasizes that this was Penn Yan’s first state title since 2001 and only its second overall.
The resolution praises the broader role of athletics in developing teamwork, discipline, fair play, and healthy living, and it specifically recognizes Head Coach Brian Hobart and his staff for their leadership. It lists the players by name and directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the team and coaches as an official expression of legislative recognition.
Impact
This resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or impose any regulatory requirements. Its legal effect is limited to formal recognition by the Assembly of a local high school athletic achievement. The only parties directly affected are the Penn Yan Academy boys lacrosse team, its coaches, school community, and supporters, who receive public commendation through the legislative record.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The language of the bill is entirely laudatory, reflecting pride in the team’s championship season, the school’s lacrosse tradition, and the community support behind the program. There is no evidence of opposition, controversy, or divided views in the available record, and no votes or committee discussion are provided.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available materials. Because this is a nonbinding congratulatory resolution, it does not appear to have generated policy debate, fiscal concerns, or partisan disagreement. The measure is purely honorary and focuses on recognizing student-athletes, coaches, and the Penn Yan community for a championship season.
