VT LEG #389147 v.1
No. R-316. House concurrent resolution congratulating the 2026 Hartford High
School Hurricanes Division II championship girls’ basketball team.
(H.C.R.258)
Offered by Representatives Cole of Hartford, Christie of Hartford, and Hoyt of
Hartford
Offered by Senators White, Clarkson, and Major
Whereas, after 14 years bereft of a divisional title and with 2012 Head Coach Steve
Landon again at the team’s helm, the second-seeded Hurricanes were eager to play the
top-seeded Lamoille Union High School Lancers for the Division II championship, and
Whereas, in a defensive-centered contest at the Barre Auditorium, the Hurricanes
limited the Lancers to 10 points in each half, and, in the third quarter, when Lamoille
narrowed Hartford’s lead to 20–17, the Windsor County team initiated a 17–3 scoring run
to ensure a solid 37–20 victory, bringing home the 2026 Division II crown, and
Whereas, this outstanding Hartford squad consisted of Lily Argyros, Ruby French,
Lucy Crowley, Sylvia Johnson, Charlotte Jasmin, Natalie Clark, Hailey Vanasse,
Mackenzie Bennett, Sadie Mullen, and Riley Martin, and
Whereas, Head Coach Steve Landon; assistant coaches Branson Landon, Joey Gillam,
Ava Thorburn, and Lacey TanCreti; and team staff member Ed Welch were essential for
this great Hurricanes victory, now therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates the 2026 Hartford High School Hurricanes
Division II championship girls’ basketball team, and be it further
Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
Hartford High School.
