Honored at the State Capital

The Ellsworth Boys team was honored at the State Capital on Thursday - 5/1/2008 - and we hope to have audio late Friday 5/2/08 - The audio was not good enough to post.

The Ellsworth Boy's Basketball Team and Cody Schilling both received Minnesota Legislature House Resolution's dated for April 15th, 2008 - on May 1st, 2008. We here at Community Hoops were honored to have been invited by the coaches to cover this event and take some pictures. Anna Rajdl took the photo's and did a great job. Here are just 17 of the over 350 she took.

The team arrived a tad early after allowing for traffic issues that might have slowed them down so there was a chance to just hang out on the front lawn for a while. Then at about 11:45am the Panthers got to visit with Governor Pawlenty, State Representative Doug Magnus, and others.

After about 15 minutes of pictures and fellowship, they made their way to the House floor where the team was honored by having the 2 resolutions read by Speaker - Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Chair - Anthony "Tony" Sertich.

Following this the team and coaches were treated to a personal tour of the House side of the Capital Building by State Representative Doug Magnus where he lead them through the daily schedule and explained how fast and slow bills can pass or fail.
