House Resolution 48
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE 2020-2021 MADISON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM AND HEAD COACH CECIL HINDS UPON WINNING THEIR FIFTH MISSISSIPPI HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION CLASS 6A BOYS SOCCER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
WHEREAS, the Madison Central High School Boys Jaguar Soccer Team finished the 2020-2021 season with their fifth state title in the school's history when they reigned victorious at the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 6A Boys Soccer State Championship; and
WHEREAS, similar to the agile, ferocious feline for which they are named, the Jaguars soccer team wielded its exceptionally powerful bite to pierce through the state championship dreams of each of their opponents in the state playoffs; and
WHEREAS, playing with clear eyes, full hearts and unimaginable amounts of strength, on February 6, 2021, at Clinton High School's Arrow Field in Clinton, Mississippi, the Jaguars Soccer Team outlasted, outplayed and ultimately overpowered the Brandon High School Bulldogs when they scored more penalty kicks and cemented the team's fifth state title in boys' soccer; and
WHEREAS, as many veterans of the game have said, "Defense wins championships," this age-old saying defined the immaculate strategy and skill of the Jaguars defense, whose grit, fortitude and determination erected a stone wall that helped secure the championship victory, and the dedication and athletic prowess of the offensive players helped them become game changers during the championship match, ensuring the revered title crown returned to the Madison Central Boys trophy case; and
WHEREAS, throughout their season of play, the Madison Central High School Boys Soccer Team, who are bursting with grit and athleticism, faced off with some of the state's best contenders on the pitch, but persevered, despite obstacles due to COVID-19, to finish their season in the top 20 poll nationally according to MaxPreps, making their presence and talent known as the gladiators and invincible champions of MHSAA boys' soccer; and
WHEREAS, the 2020-2021 Jaguar team statistics were impressive, and there were outstanding headers, strikes, penalty kicks and goals by individual players, but the key to this team's consistent success has been the constant team atmosphere and year-round hard work; and
WHEREAS, the Madison Central Boys Soccer Team is comprised of very talented and distinguished young men, which ultimately catapulted them to winning their fifth state championship, including: Calvin McIntyre, Ethan Barker, John Hrivnak, Dillan Smith, Tate Collins, Regal Perry, Terron McIntyre, Tyler Leach, Carson Smith, Parker Layton, Parker Craft, Cooper McMillin, Daniel Stack, Sam Long, Duncan Cavett, Bryson Henderson, Compton Ross, Seth Capel, Aidan Welch, Will Scoggins, Cooper Quarles, Jordan Jones, Drew Cook, Foster Hamilton, Trey Windham, Benton Taylor, John Keil Beavers, Hayes Henry, Caleb Davis, Noah Hinkle, Will Farthing, Fabricio Neira, Davis Welch, Max Zuluaga, Davis Torrey, Connor Bourg, Jordan Campbell, Kamden Yearick, Colin Brannon and Landon Parrow; and
WHEREAS, the Jaguars have been superbly coached and inspired by Head Coach Cecil Hinds, who has broadened the Jaguars' knowledge of the game and refined their skills in execution; and
WHEREAS, Assistant Coaches Mitch Self and Jammal Banks, helped the players reach their fullest potential on and off the field and played a huge role in the success of the Madison Central High School Boys Soccer Team; and
WHEREAS, Coach Hinds, Coach Self and Coach Banks continue to build upon the legacy of superior play and true sportsmanship forged by the tenacious and undaunted spirit of each team member, as evidenced in their ability to produce high caliber players and plays and the team's successful season; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize and commend the superb accomplishments of Mississippi student-athletes, especially those such as the Madison Central High School Jaguars Boys Soccer Team, whose excellence on the field and in the classroom brings honor to their school, their community and the State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the 2020-2021 Madison Central High School Boys Soccer Team and Head Coach Cecil Hinds upon winning their fifth Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 6A Boys Soccer State Championship and extend best wishes to the team and coaches for continued success in all of their future athletic and academic endeavors.
