SCR 76 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

COMMENDATIONS: Commends Dewain Strother on being inducted into the 2026 class of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

This bill is a commendation resolution that formally recognizes Dewain Strother for his induction into the 2026 class of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. It directly affects Strother by having the state legislature acknowledge his nearly five-decade career as a teacher, coach, and educational leader in Sabine Parish. The resolution highlights his achievements, including founding the girls' basketball program at Florien High School and compiling over 1,200 wins, but does not create new laws or change any policies. The only concrete action required is for the legislature to send a copy of the resolution to Strother as a record of the honor.
