SENATE RESOLUTION No. 1820
A Resolution congratulating and commending the 1998 Olathe North Senior High School football team.
WHEREAS, The 1998 Olathe North Senior High School football team are the 1998
Class 6A Kansas State High School Activities Association champions; and
WHEREAS, The Olathe North ``Eagles'' are the Class 6A champions for the third con-
secutive year; and
WHEREAS, The Olathe North Eagles defeated Garden City at the Class 6A champi-
onship game held at Manhattan on Saturday, November 21, 1998. Only the true believer
and most devoted of fans could have believed that the Eagles would repeat as champions
for the third consecutive year. Garden City was ahead at the end of the first half 31-14.
On the second play of the second half, however, Beno Gore scored a 24-yard touchdown
to become the school's career rusher with a total of 3,336 yards rushing. Then, picture this
if you will--Garden City was ahead 37-34 with 1:19 minutes left in the game, the Eagles
had the ball on their own 32-yard line, and it was fourth down with 9 yards to go for a first
and 10. Did they kick? No! Did they pass? No! Head Coach Gene Wier called for quar-
terback Jeremy Franker to drop back as if to pass and to hand off the ball to fullback Brian
Everette. Everette promptly rocketed through the right tackle and 68 yards down the
sideline to score the winning touchdown. From such action does the legend of ``The Play''
begin: Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas: That we congratulate the 1998
Olathe North Senior High School football team for winning the Class 6A Kansas State High
School Activities Association football championship for the third consecutive time and
likewise congratulate the coaches, school administrators, student body and parents for this
achievement; and
Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of the Senate be directed to provide five
enrolled copies of this resolution to Larry Chaney, Principal, Olathe North Senior High
School, 600 E. Prairie, Olathe, Kansas 66061.
Senate Resolution No. 1820 was sponsored by Senators Brownlee and BeckerI hereby certify that the above RESOLUTION originated in the SENATE,
and was adopted by that body
