   Whereas, based on their respective rankings, the sixth-seeded Bellows Free Academy-
Fairfax Bullets and the fifth-seeded White River Valley Wildcats Division III baseball
championship showdown at Centennial Field in Burlington should have resulted in a
score of narrow difference, and
   Whereas, the reality proved entirely different as the Bullets were the undeniably
superior team as they both offensively and defensively overwhelmed the Wildcats, and
   Whereas, the Bullets quickly displayed their baseball prowess, as they established a 3–
0 lead in the first inning, increased their scoring advantage to 4–0 in the second, 5–0 in
the fourth; and widened their lead to 7–0 in the fifth, which they sustained until the final
out, and
    Whereas, the energized Bullets, who returned home triumphantly with their school’s
first baseball title since 2015, were Max Clark, Tyler Gillilan, Rylan Muehl, Trent
Hurley, Braydon Gillilan, Kayden Lovejoy, Xavier Gillilan, Reagan Baumeister, Teddy
Colling, Dylan Sicard, Ryan Sheehan, Chase Murray, Alden Kalbfleisch, Unai Laskurain,
Kris Mummert, James Benjamin, and Bryant Matton, and
   Whereas, Head Coach Mike Brown and assistant coaches Chris Cowey, Bruce
Gillilan, and Mitch Thayer, as well as statistician Victoria Brown and scorekeeper Peyton
Metruk, were each thrilled with this victory, now therefore be it
   Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
  That the General Assembly congratulates the 2024 Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax
High School Bullets Division III championship baseball team, and be it further
  Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax High School.
