On the recordJanuary 31, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Canyon Del Oro football team for securing their first State football championship since 2009. Their victory took place at ASU's Mountain America Stadium in Tempe where they went up against Yuma Catholic and came out with the win with a score of 35-27. This marks CDO's return on the State football titles game after more than a decade. The 29 graduating seniors proudly brought the championship trophy home in their final year, contributing to the team's flawless 14-0 record. It was their first perfect season since the last State championship in 2009. This remarkable accomplishment stands as a testament to the dedication and skill of the entire team. As we celebrate their success, we eagerly anticipate the bright future that lies ahead for our student athletes and the CDO football program. Honoring the Memory of Vern Pellman, Jr.
