A house RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE chesnee HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS GOLF TEAM ON WINNING THE third consecutive SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE CLASS AA-A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, on October 17, 2023, the members of the Chesnee High School girls golf team packed up a coveted trophy, the impressive proof of their third consecutive first-place victory at the 2023 South Carolina High School League Class AA-A State Championship tournament, held at the Lancaster Country Club; and

Whereas, the Lady Eagles, entering the season as defending state champions, once again powered their golf game to the top, this year with team members Olivia Roberts, Addy Parker, Olivia Shields, Abigail Watson, Abby Herrington, and Jada Flynn. Eagles junior, Olivia Roberts, won her second consecutive individual AA-A state championship firing a 140 over her two rounds; and

Whereas, during the past five seasons, Chesnee has built a powerhouse program. Not only have the Lady Eagles won three in a row, but the two seasons prior, they finished as runners-up. This year, the team shot 616 winning by 82 strokes over runner-up Oceanside Collegiate Academy. Olivia Roberts, Addy Parker, Olivia Shields, and Abigail Watson were given the additional recognition of being named All-State; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands the patient exercise of polished skill, Head Coach Kyle Scruggs and his outstanding assistant coaches, Aaron Jolley, Adam Jolley, and Drew Fisher used their own athletic abilities and training to build a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life, both on and off the fairways and greens; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in saluting the Lady Eagles on a fine season, and the members look forward to hearing of their further 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, celebrate the Chesnee High School girls golf team on winning the third consecutive South Carolina High School League Class AA-A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Erik Gerstenacker and Head Coach Kyle Scruggs of Chesnee High School.
