A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE W. WYMAN KING ACADEMY GIRLS SPORTING CLAYS TEAM, COACH, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON CAPTURING THE 2016 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the W. Wyman King Academy (WKA) girls sporting clays team took top-gun honors at the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) State Championship competition, held as part of the second annual South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Youth Sporting Clay Open on March 5, 2016; and
Whereas, not only did team members Samantha Langford, Nicki Boone, and Brianna Gibson win the SCISA title, but also they topped all the public-school girls teams. Before a crowd of about sixteen hundred, the Knights, competing among five hundred twenty youth shooters, earned yet another state championship trophy; and
Whereas, among other awards given at the competition, $33,000 in college scholarships were presented to seniors, among them WKA senior shooter Samantha Langford, who earned a $2,000 scholarship from SCDNR for her first-place finish in the girls varsity category. In addition, Samantha was named winner of the coveted Aaron Powell scholarship for $1,000; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands skill and accuracy, Coach Dan Paxton capitalized on his own ability and training in sporting clays to forge a championship team and teach these participants lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition the W. Wyman King Academy girls sporting clays shooters have brought to their school and community, and the members look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the years 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 W. Wyman King Academy girls sporting clays team, coach, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on capturing the 2016 South Carolina Independent School Association State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Dennis Gibson and Coach Dan Paxton.
