LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating the Baldwinsville Boys Soccer Team
and Coach Tim Scheemaker upon the occasion of capturing the 2009 Section
III Class AA Championship
WHEREAS, Excellence and success in competitive sports can be achieved
only through strenuous practice, team play and team spirit that is
nurtured by dedicated coaching and strategic planning; and
WHEREAS, Athletic competition enhances the moral and physical develop-
ment of the young people of this State, preparing them for the future by
instilling in them the value of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, imparting a desire for success and developing a sense of
fair play, teamwork, and competition; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and pay
tribute to those young people within the State of New York who, achiev-
ing outstanding success in athletic competition, have inspired and
brought pride to their high schools; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to congratulate the
Baldwinsville Boys Soccer Team and Coach Tim Scheemaker upon the occa-
sion of winning the 2009 Section III Class AA Title and for representing
Section III Boys Soccer in the 2009 New York State Class AA Champion-
ship; and
WHEREAS, To bring home a Section Ill Championship, as did the 2009
Baldwinsville Bees, is a wonderful achievement; behind All-League First
Team players Matt Boyle, Jonathan Goodridge, and Hobie Ramin, the Bees
defeated Fayetteville Manlius High School 2 - 1 to bring home the
Section III Class AA Title; and
WHEREAS, Although the Bees suffered a heartbreaking loss in the
regional round of the New York State Class AA Championship they have
much to be proud of; with a final record of 14-5-1 Baldwinsville proved
itself to be one of the most successful boys soccer teams in all of
Central New York; and
WHEREAS, No team, no matter how gifted one or a handful of its members
may be, can succeed without outstanding talent throughout its entire
roster; such was the case for the 2009 Baldwinsville Bees whose players
included: Brandyn Peters, Benjamin Ramin, Sean Coyne, Michael Guardino,
Daniel Knight, Jonathon Price, Jonathan Goodridge, Matthew Boyle, Antho-
ny Vecchio, Hobie Ramin, Kevin Thompson, William Skinner, Casey Coleman,
Kyle Beckhusen, Trevor Pauldine, Jose Gomez, Frank Vecchio, Andrew
Coughlin, Jacob Lunduski, Alexander Bono, Matthew Miles, Adam Lauko,
Nicholas Malone, Stefan Merchent, and Kyle Mulligan; and
WHEREAS, The success of the Baldwinsville Boys Soccer Team is due in
great part to the efforts of Head Coach Tim Scheemaker and his outstand-
ing Assistant Coaches who include Dan Kincaid and Chris Ross; the team
was also assisted by the never-ending encouragement and support of
friends, family and the community; and
WHEREAS, The 2009 Bees shared noteworthy attributes off the field, as
well as in competition; individually and collectively, they constantly
exhibited good sportsmanship and scholarship, thereby demonstrating to
themselves and others that they have an enviable combination of talent
and character which reflects favorably upon their school and their
community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the Baldwinsville Boys Soccer Team and Head Coach Tim
Scheemaker for an extremely successful 2009 season, which included
capturing a Section Ill Class AA Title and representing Section III Boys
Soccer in the New York State Class AA Championship; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the members of the 2009 Baldwinsville Boys Soccer Team and
its coaches.
