Delaware Celebrates World Finals Champions
Central Middle School's Division II Stunt Mobiles team received a warm welcome at its homecoming from Colorado. This was Delaware's first World Finals championship team since 1983 -- and it came on their 25th anniversary! Newspapers from all over Delaware featured the team in front page stories. In the weeks following their return, the team members were guests of honor at many assemblies such as:
- the state Board of Education meeting where they were presented with certificates from the Secretary of Education.
- the Dover City Council meeting where they were congratulated by the Mayor and Council.
- a meeting with Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, receiving another certificate honoring the team.
- sessions of both houses of state legislature. In the Senate, team members were asked to explain their problem and how they solved it. The team was presented with Delaware House Concurrent Resolution No. 29, which congratulated them for their accomplishment and hard work.
When asked the most important lesson she learned this year, coach Trudean Davis said, "Never give up!" This is good advice for anyone who is faced with a problem to solve.
