Congratulating Hurricane High School on being 2025 AAAA Boys State Soccer champions

Summary

Senate Resolution 26 is a congratulatory resolution honoring Hurricane High School for winning the 2025 AAAA Boys State Soccer Championship. The resolution emphasizes that 2025 was the first year the AAAA classification was offered, making Hurricane High School the inaugural champion in that division. It also highlights the team’s season record of 18 wins, 3 losses, and 1 tie, and praises the players for athletic skill, teamwork, sportsmanship, and perseverance. The resolution further recognizes the coaching staff, including Head Coach Kent Bailey and Assistant Coaches Braeden Collins, Jacob Perdew, and Jim Dagostine, and notes the pride the championship brought to the school and community. It directs the Clerk of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the head coach. As a ceremonial resolution, SR26 does not create or amend state law, impose requirements, or alter rights or obligations; its effect is limited to formal legislative recognition and commendation.

Impact

SR26 has no substantive legal impact on state statutes, regulations, or public programs. It is a nonbinding Senate resolution that serves only to officially commend Hurricane High School, its players, coaches, families, and community for winning the first AAAA Boys State Soccer title, and to preserve that recognition in the legislative record.

Sentiment

The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and celebratory. The resolution is framed as an honor for a historic athletic achievement, and there is no indication of opposition, controversy, or divided views in the available context. The absence of committee debate or recorded votes suggests it was treated as a routine commendation measure.

Contention

There are no notable points of contention in the bill text or available legislative context. Because SR26 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing a high school sports championship, it does not appear to raise policy disputes, fiscal concerns, or legal issues. Any discussion would likely have centered on the appropriateness of the recognition and the historic nature of the first AAAA championship, rather than on disagreement over the resolution itself.
