“on the blustery evening of November 29, 2003, the Elder High School football team won their second consecutive Ohio State championship under the guidance of Coach Doug Ramsey, becoming just the fourth school ever to win back-to-back Division I championships. While last year's championship run was epitomized by hard-fought, closely-contested victories, this year's Panther team dominated the playoffs, except for the very close one-point win over a very tough Coleraw High School team. The dynamic leadership of quarterback Rob Florian and the sensational running of Bradley Glatthaar spearheaded the offense, while Elder's swarming defense held opposing teams to just seven points in four of the five playoff games. As always, thousands of Elder faithful traveled across the State, braving the cold, to support the Panthers throughout the playoffs. Mr. Speaker, the hard work and sacrifice of the young men at Elder have brought pride and honor to Price Hill and to our entire community. Football fans throughout the Cincinnati area congratulate the Panthers and share in their celebration. Way to go, Elder Panthers. And from a LaSalle Lancer, it might be a tough thing to do, but we are real proud of you, Elder. God bless you.”
