and
WHEREAS,
this superlative team completed a whirlwind season, beginning with an aggressive
4-0 record, earning its first number one ranking since 1971; and

quarterfinal victory over Houston County, and posted a 14 point win over Tift

the Hornets soared through the playoffs to the championship game and faced the
Peachtree Ridge Lions in one spectacular final battle, where both teams gave an
equally heartfelt performance; and

the 2006 Roswell High School Hornets were named Class AAAAA State Football

as this magnificent team earned its well-deserved reputation for excellence by
