A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION INSTALL APPROPRIATE SIGNS AND MARKERS TO COMMEMORATE THE LADY GAMECOCKS BASKETBALL TEAM WINNING THE 2022 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP.
Whereas, the pride of the entire Palmetto State, the University of South Carolina women's basketball team once again has shown its championship form in delivering an exciting 2021-2022 season culminating with a thrilling victory over the University of Connecticut to win its second national championship; and
Whereas, led by Head Coach Dawn Staley, the Lady Gamecocks entered the NCAA Tournament as a number one seed after being ranked number one in the nation all season and winning the SEC Regular Season Championship; and
Whereas, after reaching the team's fourth NCAA Final Four in school history, the Lady Gamecocks easily overcame the Louisville Cardinals in the semifinal game before soundly defeating Connecticut 64-49 in the NCAA Tournament championship game, thus establishing the University of South Carolina as the premier women's basketball program in the country. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request the Department of Transportation install appropriate signs and markers to commemorate the two-time national champion University of South Carolina Lady Gamecocks. The signs and markers shall replace all signs and markers commemorating the 2017 national championship won by the Lady Gamecocks. The Department of Transportation is further requested to install appropriate signs and markers in any additional appropriate locations throughout the State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Department of Transportation
