A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE WANDO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2014 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, in a rematch of the 2013 championship game, the Wando High School girls soccer team grabbed top honors by capturing the Class AAAA state championship title defeating J.L. Mann on May 23, 2014; and

Whereas, even lightning could not stop the Lady Warriors in their pursuit of a second straight championship as they returned from a 45 minute weather delay with renewed vigor on their way to a 2-1 win against a previously unbeaten J.L. Mann team; and

Whereas, the Wando High School girls soccer team finished the season with a remarkable 21-2 record and won the school's tenth state championship; and

Whereas, the Lady Warriors advanced to its eighth consecutive Class AAAA state championship game after dominating Dutch Fork 4-1 to claim the Lower State title; and

Whereas, the Lady Warriors capitalized on two free kicks from Raymara Barreto, leading to a goal by Katie Leen in the fifty-third minute and the game-winning goal by Brittany Heri in the seventy-eighth minute; and

Whereas, head coach Shannon Champ molded a young but dedicated team into champions and captured her sixth title as Wando's coach; and

Whereas, the journey to winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and team work, qualities that will serve these young women well off the soccer field and provide a foundation for success in their future endeavors. 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 Wando High School girls soccer team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on winning the 2014 Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Principal Lucy Beckham and Coach Shannon Champ.
