TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE FOUNTAIN INN CHRISTIAN SCHOOL VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM FOR A SUCCESSFUL SEASON AND TO COMMEND ITS OUTSTANDING PLAYERS AND COACHES FOR CAPTURING THE 2012 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Fountain Inn Christian School varsity basketball team defeated Calvary Christian 58-47 to win the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Class AA State Championship, held at West Columbia's Grace Christian School on February 18, 2012; and
Whereas, to the cheers of delighted fans, Fountain Inn rolled through the tournament to victory. As the Falcons accepted their trophy, supporters began making plans to watch their team do the same next year; and
Whereas, over a successful 22-1 season, the Fountain Inn team grew more aware of how to put their talents to use and how to forge winning strategies with a marked determination; and
Whereas, the Falcons put their agility, speed, and perseverance to the test as they scored and rebounded, leading at halftime 21-20 and extending that lead as the final contest progressed; and
Whereas, to make a scintillating win even brighter, Travis Dennis, who scored 23 points, and Bradley Turner, who added 14 to the scoreboard for the Falcons, were named to the All-Tournament team; and
Whereas, drawing on his own athletic ability and leadership skills, Coach John Miller led the Falcons to their first-ever state-championship victory; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in recognizing the young athletes of the Fountain Inn Christian School varsity basketball team for their fine example both on and off the court and anticipate hearing of their continued successes in the years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
