Whereas, in a sport that demands strength, expertise, and determination, the Williamsburg Stallions rushed and tackled their way to the football team’s first state championship in the school’s history; and
Whereas, named the 2013 SCISA Coach of the Year, Head Coach Ken Kellahan and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to create a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the gridiron; and
