A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE THE DOBY'S MILL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND FOR WINNING THE 2019 SOUTH CAROLINA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Doby's Mill Elementary School archery team of Kershaw County captured the state title at the state tournament held at Sumter Civic Center on March 26, 2019; and
Whereas, after a very successful archery season, the Doby's Mill archers delighted their exuberant fans by defeating a fine, competitive field of comers to earn a state trophy in only the fourth year since the school's archery program began; and
Whereas, the archery team had competed in the Columbia Regional Tournament in February, placing third in the bullseye competition and first in the International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) competition to secure a berth in the state archery tournament; and
Whereas, at the state tournament, the archery team, composed of fourth and fifth graders, placed first in both the bullseye and IBO competition to become state champions; and
Whereas, the invitation to participate in the National Archery Tournament held in Louisville , Kentucky, from May 9 to 11, 2019, allowed the Doby's Mill archers to compete against hundreds of different schools across the Eastern United States and thousands of archers. The Doby's Mill team finished thirty-eighth out of two hundred elementary teams in the bullseye tournament and nineteenth out of seventy-seven elementary teams in the 3-D IBO tournament; and
Whereas, in a sport that requires precision, practice, and dexterity, Lead Coach April Dixon and her skilled coaching staff maximized their own experience and passion to hone a championship-caliber team and teach these archers lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that the Doby's Mill archers have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their future 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, congratulate the Doby's Mill Elementary School archery team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and for winning the 2019 South Carolina State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Allison Hepfner, principal, and Coach April Dixon.
