(As Adopted by Senate)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE KOSSUTH HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS "LADY AGGIES" BOWLING TEAM FOR ITS SIXTH STRAIGHT CLASS 1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE KOSSUTH HIGH SCHOOL BOYS "AGGIES" BOWLING TEAM FOR THEIR THIRD STRAIGHT CLASS 1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH IS A BOWLING DYNASTY.
WHEREAS, we join the students, faculty and parents at Kossuth High School in celebrating a double sweep in Class 1 Bowling; and
WHEREAS, Kossuth High School's continued domination of Class 1 bowling was never in question on January 31, 2024. The "Lady Aggies" posted a series score above second place Tishomingo County, while the "Aggies" finished with a series score better than second place Stringer, who they also beat last season. "This was definitely a fun year, but also bittersweet," Kossuth bowling coach Michael Lee said. "It's hard losing five senior girls who have meant so much to our team. I've coached all of them since junior high"; and
WHEREAS, the girls posted the high score in all four games -778 in the first game, 822 in the second, 809 in the third and 907 in the fourth. Seniors Sally Kate Garnder and Lynley Woodruff tied for first overall with series scores of 771. Garnder bowled games of 138, 194, 170 and 219 while Woodruff bowled 198, 167, 164 and 192. It is Gardner's third overall first place finish (2023 and 2020) and Woodruff's second (2022). Lauren Trantham placed third overall with a 677 series (160, 165, 183, 169) with Emma Renfrow being outside the top five by just two pins with 623 series. Emily Mann and Maddie Mask had high games of 161 and 157 respectively; and
WHEREAS, the boys started out strong as well, setting a school record with a 1,099 score in the first game. They bowled 942 in the second game, 1011 in the third and 971 in the fourth. The "Aggies" swept the top three on the individual side. Corey Hardin followed up his win in regionals by taking first place at state with a series score of 844 (236, 185, 201 and 222). Hayden Miles and Anderson Spencer tied for second with 835 series. Miles posted games of 256, 192, 189 and 198. Spencer had games of 204, 159, 257 and 215. Eli Hinton posted a series score of 752, and Brady Crabb bowled a 208 in the first game; and
WHEREAS, all six girls made the Mississippi Association of Coaches All-Star bowling tournament in Philadelphia with Gardner, Woodruff and Trantham getting in on their scores and state and Mann, Mask and Renfrow selected as wild cards. On the boys' side, Hardin, Mile and Spencer made it on scores with Hinton selected as a wild card; and
WHEREAS, Kossuth's bowling dynasty knocked off another goal on their way to compete for another state championship. Both the "Lady Aggies" and the "Aggies" won their bowling regionals in dominating fashion on January 29, 2024; and
WHEREAS, 2024 "Lady Aggies" and "Aggies" championship rosters are: Sally Kate Gardner, Lynley Woodruff, Lauren Trantham, Maddie Mask, Emily Mann, Emma Renfrow, Callie Crum, Paden Talley, Hayden Miles, Anderson Spencer, Brady Crabb, Eli Hinton, Joshua Martin, Corey Hardin, Ben Hopper, Brennan Bullard and Coach Michael Lee; and
WHEREAS, it is with great pride that we recognize these student athletes whose record-breaking achievements 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, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the Kossuth High School Girls "Lady Aggies" Bowling Team for its sixth straight Class 1 State Championship and the Kossuth High School Boys "Aggies" Bowling Team for their third straight Class 1 State Championship which is a bowling dynasty, and extend the best wishes of the Mississippi Senate for future success.
