Senate presents citation to Ogden High's Blake D. Moore, national High School Heisman winner
Summary
The Utah Senate paused its calendar to honor Blake D. Moore of Ogden High School after he won the National Wendy's High School Heisman Award; senators read an official citation praising his academics, athletics and community service and Moore thanked family, coaches and school staff.
Senator Tanner asked the Senate to pause for a recognition and invited Blake D. Moore and his family and school representatives to the floor. The body read an official citation congratulating Moore for receiving the National Wendy's High School Heisman Award, noting his 4.0 GPA, All‑State academic honors, Deseret News All‑State quarterback selection, varsity letters in multiple sports, and volunteer work (including Habitat for Humanity and hospital reading programs).
Moore addressed the chamber, thanking his principal, assistant principal, athletic director, coaches, parents and grandparents. Senators joined in applause and several members offered personal congratulations. The recognition was presented as a ceremonial citation and did not involve legislative action or votes beyond the unanimous acknowledgment by the chamber.
The citation text summarizes Moore's achievements and encourages continued success; the Senate recessed its regular business briefly to make the presentation.
