A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE THE MAULDIN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS TENNIS TEAM FOR NETTING THE 2012 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, AND TO HONOR THE PLAYERS AND HEAD COACH LAURA GURLEY ON THREE CONSECUTIVE STATE WINS.

Whereas, a clash of two undefeated teams at the 2012 Class AAAA State Championship on November 3, 2012, brought the Mauldin High School girls tennis team a three-peat--their third consecutive state title; and

Whereas, crushing opponent Dutch Fork in a shutout, the Mauldin Lady Mavericks wrapped up a 25-0 season that stretched their winning streak to sixty-five matches, a record that reaches back to 2009; and

Whereas, in the exciting final, the Lady Mavs swept their five singles matches in straight sets and prevailed in the only doubles in a tie-breaker; and

Whereas, Head Coach Laura Gurley, who has led her team to all three of these back-to-back state victories, year to year has instilled a standard of excellence in her athletes that will serve them well throughout their lives, both on and off the court; and

Whereas, appreciative of the great pride and recognition these athletes have brought to their school and community, the House of Representatives congratulates the Lady Mavericks, and the members look with interest toward hearing of their further exploits as tennis champions. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute the Mauldin High School girls tennis team for netting the 2012 Class AAAA State Championship title, and honor the players and Head Coach Laura Gurley on three consecutive state wins.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Principal Ann Miller and Head Coach Laura Gurley of Mauldin High School.
