Honoring the Lake Catholic High School baseball team as the 2025 Division IV State Champion.
Summary
House Resolution 195 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Lake Catholic High School baseball team for winning the 2025 Division IV State Championship. The resolution recognizes the team’s 3-2 victory over Perkins, notes that the title is the first state championship in program history, and praises the players for their talent, sportsmanship, dedication, and perseverance. It also commends head coach Brian LeRoy for helping develop the athletes and instilling values such as determination and camaraderie.
The resolution does not create, amend, or repeal any state law. Its practical effect is limited to official recognition by the Ohio House of Representatives and the transmission of an authenticated copy to the team. As a commemorative measure, it serves to celebrate the school, its athletes, their families, and their community rather than to regulate conduct or alter state policy.
Impact
HR 195 has no substantive legal impact on Ohio statutes, administrative rules, or public programs. It is a nonbinding honorary resolution that formally recognizes an athletic achievement and directs the House Clerk to send a copy to the Lake Catholic High School baseball team. The only affected parties are the team members, coach, school, and community, who receive public acknowledgment from the state legislature.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and celebratory. The resolution frames the team’s championship as a source of pride for the school and community and praises the athletes’ character as well as their athletic success. There is no recorded opposition, committee debate, or vote history indicating controversy, and the measure appears to have been treated as a routine commendation.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is purely ceremonial, it does not raise policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or legal questions. The only substantive emphasis is on honoring the team’s accomplishment and recognizing Coach Brian LeRoy’s role in the program’s success.
