WHEREAS, Victoria Vivians put on a fourth-quarter offensive display that will surely be talked about for years to come when she put together a jaw-dropping shooting display in a 53-second span that had the Mississippi Coliseum crowd buzzing that included back-to-back 3-pointers from the corner that cut it to 43-40; and
WHEREAS, she banked in a 30-foot 3-pointer from straight away that sent the Scott Central fans into a frenzy, tying the score at 43-43 with 4:03 left, scoring 21 of her game-high 42 points in the final quarter to rescue Scott Central; and
WHEREAS, the Lady Rebels achieved great marks this season, finishing with a 33-4 record, the Class 2A State Championship, the Class 2A South State Championship, the Division 6 - Class 2A Tournament Championship, the Division 6 - Class 2A Regular Season Championship, the Scott County Tournament Championship, and the Newton Invitational Tournament Championship; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the Scott Central High School Lady Rebels Basketball Team and Head Coach Chad Harrison for winning the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 2A State Championship and for their excellent 2012-2013 season, and extend best wishes for continued success in all of their future endeavors.
