A� Resolution congratulating and commending Coach Darrel Wolters.
� � � WHEREAS,� Darrel Wolters has been selected by the Wichita Eagle as the Girls

and

� � � WHEREAS,� Darrel Wolters coached the Osborne High School girls basketball
team to the 2000 class 2A Kansas High School Activities Association Championship.
The team completed a perfect 26-0 season by defeating top-ranked and four-time
defending state champion Moundridge 61-54 in the class 2A championship game;
and

� � � WHEREAS,� In 29 years of coaching, Coach Wolters has taken teams to the state
tournament in baseball, cross country, track, golf and basketball, but the 2000 girls
basketball championship was his first state championship. Wolters got out of coaching
in 1990 because he thought it was time for him to retire from coaching but three
seasons ago was persuaded by parents to return to coaching. In six years at Osborne
he has a 101-34 record. During the season he may not get to bed before 4 a.m.
because of looking at game films and entering data in the computer. During the
summer he follows his players in league play and sends them packets of information
in the mail; and

� � � WHEREAS,� Darrel Wolters and his wife, Suzi, have four children and seven
grandchildren. Their home is at Portis, approximately 10 miles north of Osborne,
which is Wolters' home town: Now, therefore,

� � � Be it resolved by the Senate of the State of Kansas:�That we congratulate and
commend Darrel Wolters upon his selection as Coach of the Year and for his devotion
to young persons' dreams; and

� � � Be it further resolved:�That the Secretary of the Senate be directed to send five
enrolled copies of this resolution to Darrel Wolters at Osborne High School, 219 N.
