    A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION to congratulate the Center Grove High School Football Team on winning the 2008 Class 5A Football State Championship.

     Whereas, the top-ranked Center Grove High School Football Team, at 11-1 on the season, defeated Castle High School in the Class 5A Regional game;     
    
     Whereas, Center Grove defeated Ben Davis High School in the Semi-state game to advance to the Class 5A State Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 29, 2008;

    Whereas, in the grueling championship game, the Trojans faced Carmel, their only loss of the season, and fought an uphill battle the entire game;

    Whereas, with 8:18 remaining in the game, the Trojans trailed Carmel 33-14 and began their rally to victory with a drive ending in a five yard touchdown run by quarterback Jordan Luallen;

    Whereas, after a perfectly executed onside kick, the Trojans ruggedly drove down the field for another touchdown to bring the score to 33-28 Carmel with 3:11 left in the game;
    


    Whereas, another onside kick and a determined Center Grove offense led the Trojans to one final touchdown, stunning the exhausted Carmel defense and the roaring crowd of 40,080;

    Whereas, a successful two point conversion with 50 seconds left on the clock put the Trojans ahead 36-33, and marked the largest comeback in state finals history; and

    Whereas, the Class 5A State Football Championship is the first State Football Championship in Center Grove High School History, and shows tremendous heart, dedication and perseverance on the part of the entire Trojan team and staff: Therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate     of the General Assembly

of the State of Indiana, the House of Representatives     concurring:

    

    SECTION 1. That the Indiana General Assembly congratulates the Center Grove High School Football Team on winning the Class 5A State Football Championship.
    SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this Resolution to Steven Stephanoff, Superintendent; Matt Shockley, Principal; Jon Zwitt, Athletic Director; Eric Moore, Coach; and each member of the team.
