SJR 0305

By Weinman - No, SJR 0305 is not the new Sci-Fi film from George Lucas. It's a resolution recently introduced to the 106th Tennessee General Assembly by State Senator Douglas Henry to honor the 2008-09 Vanderbilt women's basketball team.

Douglas S. Henry (pictured left) has been a state senator since the 87th General Assembly. He received both his undergraduate and law degrees from Vanderbilt, and serves Tennessee's 21st district (which includes the portion of Davidson County that houses Vanderbilt's campus).

Head Coach Melanie Balcomb's Commodores won the 2009 SEC Tournament, advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16, and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll.
