HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 713
Commending the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy softball team.

 

Agreed to by the House of Delegates, February 20, 2023
Agreed to by the Senate, February 22, 2023

WHEREAS, the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy softball team won the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division II state championship on May 20, 2022, at the Dinwiddie Sports Complex; and

WHEREAS, the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy Saints narrowly defeated the Isle of Wight Academy Chargers by a score of 1–0 to bring home the program's third consecutive state title; and

WHEREAS, the game was tied going into the bottom of the sixth inning, when a double by senior Madison Inscoe set up freshman Marin McGowan to drive in the sole run of the contest; and

WHEREAS, the Nansemond-Suffolk Saints' victory was a total team effort led by Madison Inscoe's strong performance on the mound, as the North Carolina State University commit struck out 10 batters and allowed only three hits on her way to a complete game shutout; and

WHEREAS, the Nansemond-Suffolk Saints concluded their season with an impressive 24–2 record, a testament to the reign of dominance the team has enjoyed over the past few years; and

WHEREAS, the success of the Nansemond-Suffolk Saints is the result of the hard work and dedication of the student-athletes, the leadership and guidance of their coaches and teachers, and the unwavering support of the entire Nansemond-Suffolk Academy community; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy softball team for winning the 2022 Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division II state championship; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to the Nansemond-Suffolk Academy softball team as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration for the team's achievement.
