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.
