COMMEMORATIONS

A LEGISLATIVE COMMEMORATION,  Honoring Brett Scherschligt, South Dakota High     School All American Football Player for 1999.

     WHEREAS,  Brett Scherschligt, a fullback and linebacker from Freeman, was named an All American football selection by the National High School Athletic Coaches Association; and

     WHEREAS,  Scherschligt was a four-year starter for the Freeman Flyers, helping them win four consecutive nine-man championships. This season he rushed for 1100 yards, had 120 tackles, 97 solos--17 for a loss. He scored 18 touchdowns and 7 two-point conversions; and

     WHEREAS,  Freeman coach Jim Aisenbrey said, "We have a philosophy that when you work hard, good things will eventually happen. Brett has always been a hard worker and has a motor that is constantly on the run. He started for us as a freshman, and we don't have too many kids who do that. This is probably the highest honor you can get in high school football.":

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT COMMEMORATED,  by the Seventy-fifth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, that Brett Scherschligt truly deserves the title of South Dakota All American High School football player and is a tribute to his parents, classmates, teammates, Freeman High School, and the State of South Dakota.

     Sen. Shoener moved that the Senate do now adjourn, which motion prevailed, and at 4:55 p.m. the Senate adjourned.
