LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION congratulating the Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball
Team upon the occasion of capturing their second consecutive Tournament
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 hard work; 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 community; and
WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is justly proud to congratulate the
Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball Team upon the occasion of capturing their
second consecutive District Tournament Championship; and
WHEREAS, To bring home a District Championship, as did the 2010 Camil-
lus All-Star Team is a wonderful achievement; the team won five games,
outscoring their opponents 80-19, en route to their second consecutive
District Championship, which culminated in a 14-3 victory over Canan-
daigua to win the tournament; and
WHEREAS, Although the Wildcats suffered a heartbreaking loss in the
championship game of the Western New York State Tournament, they have
much to be proud of; the Camillus 12U All-Stars proved themselves to be
one of the most successful teams in all of 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 2010 Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball
Team, whose players included: Chris Petosa, Kyle Root, Paul Masello,
Andrew Grecco, Nick Biata, Anthony Bove, John Schad, Nick Graham, Ryan
Greco, Josh Macholl, Noah Winters, and Christian Freeman; and
WHEREAS, The success of the team is due in great part to the efforts
of Head Coach Bill Biata and his outstanding Assistant Coaches Tony Bove
and John Petosa; the team was also assisted by the never-ending encour-
agement and support of friends, family and the community; and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball Team shared notewor-
thy attributes off the field, as well as in competition; individually
and collectively, they constantly exhibited good sportsmanship, thereby
demonstrating to themselves and to others that they have an enviable
combination of talent and character which reflects favorably upon their
community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate the 2010 Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball Team for an
extremely successful 2010 season; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the members of the 2010 Camillus 12U All-Star Baseball Team
and its coaches.
