Madame Speaker, it is with honor and great pride that I recognize and congratulate the Jessieville Lions of Jessieville, Arkansas, whose outstanding teamwork and dedication on the football field earned them a Class 2A Arkansas State Title at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on December 8, 2006. The Jessieville Lions embody the spirit of teamwork, determination, and all that defines a champion.
As a parent, I value the important lessons that teamwork teaches our students in pursuit of a lifetime of success. I have long been an advocate of sports and extracurricular activities as they complement academic excellence, inspire leadership, and build character, which better prepare our state’s students to face the challenges of the 21st century.
It is a tremendous honor to congratulate the Jessieville High School football program on winning the Class 2A Arkansas State Football Championship. I applaud the Jessieville Lions for their season. This victory is the result of hard work contributed by the players, students, coaching staff, faculty and the community. I salute all who remained focused on this goal and especially the players who rose to the occasion to become State Champions. Congratulations Lions! |
