HJR104 is a House Joint Resolution introduced to commend the Skyline High School wrestling team for their outstanding achievement in winning the Virginia High School League Class 3 state championship. This victory not only marks a significant milestone for the team as it is their first state championship title in the school's history but also signifies an achievement for the Warren County Public Schools, being the first for a boys' team from the district. The resolution highlights the team's remarkable performance during the championship, where they amassed an impressive 218 points, outpacing their nearest competitor, Staunton River High School, by 39.5 points.

Overall, HJR104 stands as a gesture of appreciation and encouragement for athletic excellence in educational settings.
