A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE TIMMONSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2012 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Timmonsville High School varsity girls basketball team of Florence County took top honors at the state competition; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans, the Timmonsville Lady Whirlwinds pressed their way to a 50-37 victory over Abbeville High School to win the school's second state championship in girls' basketball; and
Whereas, Sade Eli posted a game-high 21 points in the championship game, while Arnesha Brown hit the backboards with 15 points and Justice Gee added 12 points; and
Whereas, having won their last state title in 2003, this is only the second state trophy for the Lady Whirlwinds, but this victory could be repeated next year as the championship squad will lose only one senior; and
Whereas, with their closest margin of victory being 16 points, the Lady Whirlwinds blew their way through the Lower State bracket and took the state trophy in another impressive win; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands strength, agility, and accuracy, Head Coach Perry Stokes and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the court; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the recognition that the Timmonsville High School varsity girls basketball players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days 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 Timmonsville High School varsity girls basketball team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season, and congratulate them for winning the South Carolina Class A State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Dorothy McClam, Principal of Timmonsville High School, and to Coach Perry Stokes.
