Again this one is also special coming from the same school Mansville High School won their first ever 3 A football state championship and they not only want it they dominated3A14 and0 Russian records all through the state even in the championship game they they set a Russian record there as well. It was an amazing performance an amazing year. I'm not surprised I am not surprised at all. Coach Overton who come from a very successful program in Boonville, Arkansas and a lot of people wondered why he would go to Mansville who it wasn't a bad program you know kind of an average football program but then had never been close to a state championship he decided to take that chance because he believed in himself and he believed in the the the team and the staff and the parents and the administration that he could build something special there and he has and I think his success will continue. the school they have really gotten behind these young men and have helped them achieve this. the community is unified behind them as well as the volleyball team. They support all their sports and so it's just proud to be able to stand here and recognize what those young men achieved it again I can only say that they didn't only win, they dominated. madam chair would you ask the clerk to read the resolution and title only Clark
