A Resolution to congratulate the Bishop Heelan Crusaders on winning the Class 3A Boys’ Basketball 2011 Championship.

   WHEREAS, Bishop Heelan Catholic High School of Sioux City defeated Waverly-Shell Rock High School, 62-60, in the Class 3A Boys’ Basketball 2011 Championship Game at the Wells Fargo Arena; and
   WHEREAS, this is the third straight year that the Bishop Heelan Crusaders have captured the state title, defeating Norwalk High School, 77-42, in 2009 and Pella High School, 50-45, in 2010; and
   WHEREAS, in the last three years, the combined record of the Crusaders is 72-8; and
   WHEREAS, the Crusaders became the first high school in Class 3A and just the fifth overall to claim three consecutive state titles, the only high school still in existence to realize this accomplishment, following in the footsteps of four high schools that have all closed their doors; NOW THEREFORE,

   BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, That the House of Representatives, on this 21st day of March, 2011, recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of Bishop Heelan Catholic High School Boys’ Basketball Team and extends sincere congratulations to Principal Chris Bork, Head Coach Tom Betz, Senior Captains Alex Malloy and David Kerian, and the young men of the 2010-2011 Boys’ Basketball Team.
