achievements of the Southside Savannah Raiders, and I present to you 
this resolution.

       Whereas, the Southside Savannah Raiders, the terrific youth

       Whereas, the Southside Savannah Raiders had an overall 
     record of 32 wins and five losses during the 1998 season 
     while clinching the League, City, District 2, and Georgia 
     Games titles; and
       Whereas, these fine young athletes demonstrated exceptional 
     ability, motivation, and team spirit throughout their 
     regiorous season, and the experience they have shared has 
     provided them many wonderful memories, friendships, and 
     values; and
       Whereas, the members of the 1998 Raiders are Joey Boaen, 
     Christopher Burnsed, Brady Cannon, Robert Cole, Brian Crider, 
     Matthew Dotson, Kevin Edge, Michael Hall, Mark Hamilton, 
     Garett Harvey, Zach Hillard, Bobby Keel, Corey Kesseler, 
     Chris Palmer, Matt Thomas, and Ellis Waters; and the coaches 
     are Linn Burnsed, Danny Boaen, and Gene Dotson, now 
     therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives; 
     that the members of this body congratulate the Southside 
     Savannah Raiders on their state championship and wish each 
     member of the team all the success in the future.
       Be it further resolved that the Clerk of the House of 
     Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit an 
     appropriate copy of this resolution to the Southside Savannah 
     Raiders.
