A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BOILING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL GOLF TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2015 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Boiling Springs High School golf team of Spartanburg County took top honors at the state competition at Furman on Tuesday, May 19, 2015; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans, the Boiling Springs Bulldogs took the final round with a score of 292 against Easley High School to take home their second straight state trophy with a ten-stroke victory of 595-605; and
Whereas, the Easley Green Wave and the Bulldogs tied at 303 after the first round, and then storms in the area suspended the second round on Monday, shortening the tournament from 54 to 36 holes; and
Whereas, with five holes remaining, the top four teams were still battling for the lead when the Bulldogs managed to pull away and cap their year-long successes with the state championship; and
Whereas, Trent Phillips, who led Boiling Springs, finished with the first-place individual medal posting a six-under score of 138. His older brother, Trevor Phillips, earned the tournament third-place finish with a score of 145. Teammates Cole Hair, Harrison Corbin, and Josh Sprouse finished with two-day scores of 154, 158, and 167, respectively; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands strategy and skill on the fairways and greens, Head Coach Josh Pruitt and his talented coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to hone a team of champions and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the fairways; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Boiling Springs golfers have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued success in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Boiling Springs High School golf team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2015 Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Chuck Gordon and Coach Josh Pruitt.
