A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2019 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Dorman High cross country team of Spartanburg County took top honors at the state meet held at the Carolina Cup facility in Camden on Tuesday, November 19, 2019; and
Whereas, to the cheers of their exuberant fans, the Dorman High Cavaliers posted the lowest score of 97 to best a fine, competitive field of runners, the only score at the meet in double digits; and
Whereas, the Cavaliers pulled out their third consecutive state victory in a close thriller without a single runner in the top ten, but with five team members running together as a tightly knit unit to finish near the top of the standings: Eddie Urban finished in 14th place to lead Dorman, with Carter Sexton 16th, Ty Nelson 23rd, David Jones 25th, and Jackson Reid 27th; and
Whereas, for three straight years, Dorman has taken the title in close scores decided by single digits. This year only five points separated the Cavaliers from their nearest competitors at T. L. Hanna High School, 97-102; and
Whereas, in a sport that exacts strength, endurance, and speed, Head Coach Jeff Buys and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own experience and passion to hone a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable throughout their lives; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that the Dorman runners have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued achievements 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 Dorman High School boys cross country team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2019 South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Bryant Roberson and Coach Jeff Buys.
