TO CELEBRATE THE WILSON HALL SHOTGUN TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2024 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION/South Carolina department of natural resources STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES FOR TRAP AND SKEET.
Whereas, the South Carolina House is delighted to hear that the Wilson Hall shotgun team took home the crowns for both trap and skeet at the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA)/South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) state tournaments, held February 8-9, 2024; and
Whereas, in a fine show of skill and sportsmanship, the Wilson Hall Barons swept the trap and skeet championships, held at the National Wild Turkey Foundation's Palmetto Shooting Complex in Edgefield. Having been trained to championship caliber by Coach Brent Hiott and Coach Matt Blankenship, these young athletes defeated an outstanding field of competitors; and
Whereas, Wilson Hall's team of Ann Weathers Blankenship, Eddie Donnald, and Jack Bowman competed in the Men's Team Division and won the trap title with a combined 144 out of 150, with Weathers hitting 49, Donnald hitting 48, and Bowman hitting 47. Their performance earned them the SCDNR state trap title for all schools, as well; and
Whereas, the same team, competing again in the Men's Team Division, won the skeet title with a combined 141 out of 150, with Weathers hitting 49, Donnald hitting 46, and Bowman hitting 46. Their performance brought them the SCDNR state skeet title for all schools, as well; and
Whereas, in the trap competition, Ann Weathers Blankenship earned Highest Over All (HOA) for the Ladies' School Division and for the Highest Ladies' Score of the tournament, tying the Highest Men's Score. She did the same in the skeet competition; and
Whereas, Blankenship's consistent performance made her the top overall athlete of the weekend, with a 98 out of 100 combined. Both she and Eddie Donnald came away from the competition with well-earned scholarships, sponsored by the Hampton Wildlife Fund; and
Whereas, proudly, the South Carolina House of Representatives salutes the members of the Wilson Hall shotgun team and looks with anticipation to learning of their future achievements. Go Barons! Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the Wilson Hall shotgun team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the 2024 South Carolina Independent School Association/South Carolina Department of Natural Resources State Championship titles for trap and skeet.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Head of School Brent Kaneft, Coach Brent Hiott, and Coach Matt Blankenship of Wilson Hall.
