A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE DREHER HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL SEASON AND TO COMMEND ITS OUTSTANDING PLAYERS AND COACHES FOR CAPTURING THE 2012 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Dreher High School girls basketball team defeated Wade Hampton 82-50 to win the Class AAA State Championship, held at Greenville's Colonial Life Arena on Saturday, March 3, 2012; and
Whereas, to the cheers of delighted fans, Dreher rolled through the tournament, turning up the pressure on Wade Hampton after a slow start and not relinquishing the lead after they grabbed it in the second quarter. As the Lady Blue Devils accepted their trophy, supporters began making plans to watch their team bring home another one next year; and
Whereas, over a tremendously successful 25-1 season, the Dreher team grew increasingly more aware of how to put their talents to use and how to forge winning strategies implemented with a marked determination; and
Whereas, the Lady Blue Devils put their agility, speed, and perseverance to the test in the title contest, leading at halftime by six points and extending that lead as the game progressed; and
Whereas, drawing on her own athletic ability and leadership skills, Coach Teresa Jones led the Lady Blue Devils to victory, in the process instilling lessons in respect and discipline into these young athletes that will stand them in good stead all their lives; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in recognizing the young athletes of the Dreher High School girls 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:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Dreher High School girls basketball team for a highly successful season and commend its outstanding players and coaches for capturing the 2012 Class AAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Jeanne Stiglbauer and Coach Teresa Jones of Dreher High School.
