Senate Concurrent Resolution 569

(As Adopted by Senate and House)

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE NANIH WAIYA ATTENDANCE CENTER BOYS GOLF TEAM FOR WINNING THE MHSAA CLASS 1A STATE GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP.

WHEREAS, Jacob Kight sank a 65-foot birdie putt on the final hole on May 4, 2017, at Big Oaks Country Club to give Nanih Waiya Attendance Center Boys Golf Team a one-stroke victory over Tupelo Christian Prep and an MHSAA Class 1A Golf State Championship; and

WHEREAS, Nanih Waiya, which recorded a 669 score, and Tupelo Christian Preparatory School at 670, were tied at 338 going into the chilly, breezy final round. Tournament host TCPS was the defending 1A State Champion; and

WHEREAS, Jacob Kight "just made a fantastic putt," TCPS Coach Grant Smallwood said. "We really knew it was going to be close. We didn't know how much up or down. It came down to that putt." Kight, a sophomore, won State Medalist honors for the second consecutive season, recorded a 36-hole total of one-over-par

74-71 -145. Kight said, "Winning as a team was more satisfying than winning my individual title. Just to celebrate as a team, it's awesome"; and

WHEREAS, members of the MHSAA Class 1A State Champion Golf Team are: Cody Clark, Steven Thornton, Jake Kight, Landon Weeks and Coley Taylor; and

WHEREAS, it is with pride that we recognize these student athletes who have brought honor to their school, their community and to the State of Mississippi:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the Nanih Waiya Attendance Center Boys Golf Team for winning the MHSAA Class 1A State Golf Championship, and extend our best wishes to the team, coaches, parents and sponsors for future success.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this resolution be presented to Coach Grant Smallwood, forwarded to Nanih Waiya Attendance Center Principal Belinda Swart and the Louisville School Board, and made available to the Capitol Press Corps.
