A LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION celebrating the Wall High School Eagles as the
        2025 Class 9A State Football Champions.
    WHEREAS, the Wall High School Eagles completed a record-setting, undefeated 2025
season, in which the 12-0 team scored 656 total points, established a new South Dakota Class
9A single-season scoring record, and commanded a 60-6 victory over the Howard Tigers to
capture the South Dakota High School Activities Association Class 9A State Football
Championship; and
    WHEREAS, Wall's explosive, record-setting offense overwhelmed their championship
opponent with 478 total yards, a 45-yard touchdown run by Kean Hofer, quarterback Tanner
Volmer's four touchdown passes and two touchdown runs, and 211 rushing yards and three
touchdowns by senior running back Jace Mohr, who was named the Joe Robbie Most Valuable
Player and earned distinction as the Outstanding Back; and
    WHEREAS, each of the team's impressive linemen and other defensive players also played
an indispensable role in the championship game by controlling the line of scrimmage and
limiting Howard to just 78 yards of total offense; and
    WHEREAS, Head Coach Lex Heathershaw and Assistant Coaches Garrett Bryan, Preston
Eisenbraun, Chris Bessette, and Ryan Dinger, along with the athletic staff, school
administrators, and the entire Wall community, demonstrated exceptional leadership,
preparation, and support, fostering a culture of accountability, resilience, discipline, and
sportsmanship on and off the field;
   NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT COMMEMORATED, by the One Hundred First Legislature of the
State of South Dakota, that the Wall High School Eagles are the 2025 Class 9A State Football
Champions,    and   are   commended     for   their   extraordinary   season,   championship
accomplishment, and the pride they have brought to their school and community.
