Yeah. Yeah. The. I wanted to share a little bit information about in csail before we read the resolution i've actually went to my first incl meeting thirty years ago in its been really a pleasure to see how they have been grown when it become very bad partisan over the last thirty years if even if you've entered a summit the big summit in the summer is certainly important but it's just a small part of what they do they advocate for state policy at the federal level they do small meetings throughout the year on individual topics that probably many of you of attended their website is great we have a state liaison if you need to want her name let me know they will research if you want to look at what legislation's been done in every step other states they will do they at uh the BLR utilizes their resources in their website is gride you can find a lot of information on there but thank you if you'll read the resolution and it's. Where is the national coverage of state legislature was founded in nineteen seventy five and has involved in the past half century to become the premier organization solely dedicated to serving state and tears for your legislators and legislative staff and whereas the national conference of state legislators was creative for the merger of three organizations that served or represented the site legislative and believe that legislative service is one of democracy's worthless proceeds and whereas the national conference of state legislators is a bipartisan organization with three objectives to advance the effect and if independence and integrity of state legislators faster interstate communication in corporation and issue states are strong cohesive voice in the federal system and whereas the site legislatures of are america's laboratories of democracy the bodies of to tackle emerging challenges and where people from different backgrounds representing different communities can come together and find common ground and whereas the national conversation legislators have facilitated the exchange of ideals providing critical research and information encourage a rigorous review of complex issues confining our committee states and nation and strives to strengthen the buyers between america's state legislatures and the international community now therefore be it resolved to the house representative nine four general assembly state of arkansas at the house representatives recognizing community national primaries the state legislatures force leadership and commitment to the legislative institution of the fiftieth anniversary and twenty twenty five I appreciate a good boat even though I made you listen to the whole resolution represent burgers and has explained the resolution when anyone like speak against the resolution would anyone like to speak for the resolution. Close for the resolution question before the house is the passage of house resolution one thousand five all in favor say i. The. The. The. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Madame clerk please read house resolution ten thirty three house resolution ten thirty three by representative broke to recognize the hearting university football team as the twenty twenty three nca division to national champions reps and brooks nas. Thank you mister speaker could I please environment speaker search representative mister lessen used as well as uh harding graduates represent calls and weighing matt duffield and that I get away else yeah mary bentley is not here so if I could press our ask them to come down as well please. Mr speaker in colleagues arise today to recognize the two thousand twenty three n c double a division to national champion harding university football bisons we get the chance to represent recognize a lot of folks in this body but it's very very rare for us to have the opportunity to recognize the national champion especially a football national champion so it's a day of of great pride i'll take this as not just a resolution below the personal point of personal privilege for me as well my experience with parting and football starter was about three or four years old my grandfather who was a a retired school teacher from bald knob start painting signs as they are job in retirements and he painted trucks for yarnell's ice cream and he painted signs for harding university and when the first things I remember is him about fifty feet in the air on a latter painting a sign on the football press box at harding's football state in which was nothing like it is now as a little care they had a big old bell that would ring after every touchdown there were not as many touchdowns coach as there are now but we'd all rush his little kids so who could ring the bell first a lot of lot of night spent at my grandparents house listening to the game because he could hear it from from their front porch so a lot of a great experiences for me as a kid with harding football but I think what heart university has done with their football team has made not just the community of sercie proud and the university probably has made a whole state proud coach paul simmons is here with us we weren't able to get many of the team because it's dead weak and harding we have coach call simmons with us head coach we also have several players west coleman tony at apong will fit cocaro comic donald call keiling and blake delay crews who set all time record for russian yards and national championship game with two hundred and twelve yards so amongst the many different accolades at harding had this year with their football team I think the biggest that we can say that they represented us as citizens of state of arkansas well they do it differently it's division to football so there's not they're not flush with in io cash. I don't know if uh delta trailers has worked out a NIL deal yet or not but you know they're not fleshed with an ill cash are not flushed with a lot of resources that other teams might normally have that you'd expect and football but they do it and they do it with passion just this last week and he coached simmons took a hundred and thirty guys on an overnight float trip and he needed extra desserts and he reached out of the community and people brought brownies and cookies to take care of so they do it time to old fashion way he's got coaches who spend the summer more in yards to make extra money so this is not your typical about million dollar college football program is it spokesw as a community do it well and bring great pride to them into the state of arkansas so we are excited to welcome them here today i'll let my colleagues want to say something. I don't know what more I could add to that just wanted to say to the coach is the staff the trainers and all the teammates congrats again were real proud of you and proud to have you in our home town of service.

Where's the heart of universe device has finished off in undefeated season by beating the colorado school of minds orders to claim the ncd division to football changing ship in front of a crowd are more than twelve thousand attendees and whereas hard university became the first team in history of college for lots of rest for more than six thousand yards in a season with the offense rushing for five hundred two yards in the championship game and whereas the buyers have finished its top rushing office nationally with six thousand one hundred and sixty yards and seventy nine rushing to south averaging four hundred eleven yards rushing per contest and where as the bizing defense was equally strong finishing second nationally and scoring defense by allowing only ten points ten point nine points per game and finishing fifth and total defense by surrending an average of only two hundred and forty seven yards per contest and where is the bicycle special teams with also impressive with the kickers averaging forty one yards per pet in connecting on eighty percent of field gold attempts and whereas head coach pass i'm in state I think if the country knew our young man and what they are about the accountability of the passing the selflessness then nothing is really surprising and where is the coach whereas coach similars also said if we are going to represent arkansas then we want to compete the right way we want to battle with a war your spirit vigilant toughness great impassion that would make somebody who does not know as proud of what is going on and whereas with their thirty eight seven victory over the ordinary's device and certainly made arkansas proud securing the first ever division to football championship for arkansas program in front of the eight largest crowd in the game's fifty year history now therefore be it resolved the house represents the ninety four general families they don't argue that the house represent his recognized and congratulate the hearty university by since flip out seeing from when in the ncwadivision to football championship.
