Commending Tom Harding. 

---------- 

Patron-- Chafin 

---------- 

WHEREAS, Tom Harding, the former Honaker High School baseball 
coach, was inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame in 
October 2016, capping a season during which he became the league�s all-time 
winningest baseball coach; and

WHEREAS, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Hall of Fame 
is dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of outstanding achievements by 
students and adults in sports and activities within Virginia�s public high 
schools; and

WHEREAS, Tom Harding�s induction into the VHSL Hall of Fame 
was the culmination of a 46-year-career that included a record-setting 633 wins 
and the 2011 VHSL Group A state championship; and

WHEREAS, Tom Harding broke the VHSL�s record for most wins as 
a baseball coach in May 2016, when he recorded his 632nd win with a 3�1 victory 
over Northwood High School; and

WHEREAS, Tom Harding was inducted into the VHSL Hall of Fame 
in the same class as one of his former players, Pittsburgh Steeler Heath 
Miller, a Super Bowl champion tight end and graduate of the University of 
Virginia and Honaker High School; and

WHEREAS, Tom Harding retired as a teacher in the Russell 
County school system years ago but remained dedicated to coaching baseball at 
Honaker High School, whose baseball field is named in his honor; and

WHEREAS, even as Tom Harding battled some recent health 
issues, his passion for coaching never waned, and his genuine belief in his 
players� ability to succeed gave hundreds of young men confidence on and off 
the baseball diamond; and

WHEREAS, Tom Harding is beloved by the Honaker High School 
community and respected as a great coach, a great person, and a great man; now, 
therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate of Virginia, That Tom Harding hereby be 
commended on his induction into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame in 
2016; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate prepare a copy 
of this resolution for presentation to Tom Harding, a longtime fixture at 
Honaker High School and the winningest baseball coach of all-time in the 
Virginia High School League, as an expression of the Senate of Virginia�s admiration 
for his record-setting career and his unwavering dedication to four decades of 
Honaker High School baseball teams.
