SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 37

(By Senators Snyder, Unger, Ross, Helmick, Fanning, Edgell, Kessler, Dittmar, Anderson, Minard, Boley, Plymale, Jackson, Bailey, Walker, Wooton, Chafin, Sharpe, Ball, Love, Hunter, Mitchell, Oliverio, McKenzie, McCabe, Redd, Deem, Minear, Sprouse and Tomblin, Mr. President)

Congratulating Josh Delawder, a senior at Paw Paw High School, on his achievement in setting a statewide high school basketball record by scoring the most points in a single season.

Whereas, In 1958, a statewide record was set in high school basketball when Paul Popavich compiled 2,660 points during a single season; and
Whereas, In February 2000, only twenty-five points were needed to break the 42-year old statewide record when Josh Delawder, a senior at Paw Paw High School, Morgan County, scored thirty-one points in the Pirates' home games. With six points to spare, the long-standing record was not only broken but increased to 2,666 points; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby congratulates Josh Delawder, a senior at Paw Paw High School, Morgan County, for his outstanding athletic ability in basketball and on becoming the state's newest record holder after breaking a 42-year record by scoring 2,666 points in a single season; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to Josh Delawder, basketball coach Roger Ross and the principal of Paw Paw High School.
