            House Resolution No. 122.

            A resolution congratulating the members and coaches of the Detroit Demolition upon the occasion of its National Women’s Football Association Championship.

            Whereas, It is a pleasure to join with their families, and all of Michigan in celebrating the achievements of the Detroit Demolition on its wonderful success over this season.  With the fine record this squad attained, which has culminated in a National Women’s Football Association Championship, this group of disciplined athletes has generated great pride throughout our state; and

            Whereas, Much to the delight of their loyal fans, the Demolition have also earned the respect of football followers throughout Michigan with their talent, teamwork, and determination.  As opponents have found out all season long, this is a team that brings unity and a positive outlook to all levels of competition.  In the face of challenge and pressure, this is a group of people who maintain their focus on making their dreams come true and accepting nothing less than their best effort; and

            Whereas, Winning titles or compiling outstanding seasons is never a fluke.  While anything can happen in a single game, all teams show their true abilities and dedication over a long season or a difficult tournament.  What distinguishes the best, however, is usually the effort that appears in practice, far removed from the excitement of game day.  We admire the efforts, team spirit, and preparation of these talented individuals; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body congratulate the members and coaches of the Detroit Demolition upon the occasion of its National Women’s Football Association Championship; and be it further

            Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Detroit Demolition as a token of our esteem.
