Senate honors Hunter High Wolverines after unbeaten season
Summary
The Utah Senate presented an official citation to Hunter High School’s 14–0 Class 5A state championship football team, praising players, coaches and community; team performed a haka and the Senate recessed briefly for remarks.
The Utah State Senate paused legislative business on Feb. 25, 2004 to commend the Hunter High School Wolverines for winning the Class 5A state football championship with a 14–0 season.
Senators praised the team’s discipline and community support; the floor read an official citation that recounted the season’s results (the citation recorded 577 points scored and 120 points allowed across the season in the resolution text presented on the floor). Coach Wes Wilkins, principal Miley Lou, former principal Mike Frazier and several players were present for the recognition; player Ray Feinga was noted as receiving "Mr. Football" honors from the Deseret Morning News and selection to national all-star play.
The Senate resolved into a committee of the whole to allow brief remarks from school officials. Principal Miley Lou and former principal Mike Frazier gave short statements of appreciation and the team performed a haka in the chamber before returning to the floor and passage of the citation.
The citation praised the team’s commitment and noted the historical accomplishment of being the first Utah team to go 14–0; senators extended congratulations on behalf of the state.
