HOUSE CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION



    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION congratulating the Cathedral High School, Indianapolis, Indiana, girls basketball team on its Indiana High School Athletic Association Class 3A state championship.

    Whereas, On Saturday, March 3, 2001, at Conseco Fieldhouse, the Cathedral High School Lady Irish girls basketball team won the Class 3A state championship for the second consecutive year with a 54 - 39 victory over Plymouth High School;

    Whereas, This year's victory was especially impressive because the team was without senior forward Jill Corbett since February 2, when she broke her leg during practice;

    Whereas, The Lady Irish are no strangers to the championship game, having played in the past three final games in three different buildings: Market Square Arena in 1999, Hinkle Fieldhouse in 2000, and Conseco Fieldhouse in 2001;

    Whereas, The 2001 season was the best in the history of the Lady Irish, who won a school record 29 games;

    Whereas, With the 2001 state title, the Lady Irish became only the seventh team in Indiana girls basketball history to claim back-to-back state titles;

    Whereas, The Lady Irish are a very consistent basketball team, losing only one game in the last 30 starts, and that loss was to Class 4A Highland High School in the City Securities

Hall of Fame Classic;

    Whereas, The home court of the Lady Irish is one of the most difficult places in Indiana for an opponent to visit; the Lady Irish are undefeated there for three consecutive seasons, and have an overall three-year record of 83 - 3;

    Whereas, For the third consecutive year, the Lady Irish have won the Indianapolis City Championship and sectional, regional and semistate championships; and

    Whereas, Consistent excellence in any endeavor deserves the recognition of the citizens of the state of Indiana: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives

of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana,

the Senate concurring:


    SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly wishes to congratulate the Cathedral High School girls basketball team on its recent Class 3A state championship, to commend the Lady Irish on the work ethic that led to this victory, and to wish the Lady Irish continued success in the future.
