A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE WILSON HALL BASEBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION (SCISA) CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, prepared and determined, the Wilson Hall baseball team scored a run in the bottom of the twelfth inning to beat Laurence Manning Academy 5-4 and win the 2014 SCISA Class AAA State Championship with a sweep of the best-of-three series; and
Whereas, it was sweet redemption for the Barons, who a year ago dropped the ball to come in second place for the crown. This year, to the delight of their fans and disappointment of their foes, Wilson Hall ran home with the title trophy and finished a splendid season with a 28-1 record; and
Whereas, immediately after the win, Wilson Hall admirers began speculating on the possible necessity of adding a new shelf to the team's trophy case to hold its eleventh state-championship prize; and
Whereas, Wilson Hall's Head Coach Tommy Jones capitalized on his own athletic skills and winning strategy to forge a championship ball club and teach his players lessons that will serve them well throughout their lives, both on the field and off; and
Whereas, proud of these fine athletes, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the recognition the Wilson Hall baseball players have brought to their school and community, and the members look to hear of many more victories for the school in coming seasons. 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 Wilson Hall baseball team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the 2014 South Carolina Independent School Athletic Association (SCISA) Class AAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Headmaster Fred Moulton and Head Coach Tommy Jones.
