SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 199 Offered March 3, 2014 Commending Caleb Shane Tanner. ---------- Patron-- Smith ----------

WHEREAS, Caleb Shane Tanner, a varsity basketball player for Floyd County High School, became the leading scorer in Virginia High School League history, with 2,713 points, achieved on February 20, 2014; and

WHEREAS, the senior broke the previous record of 2,687 points during the first quarter of a game against Giles High School when he scored after a steal; by game's end, Caleb Tanner had amassed 36 points, handily surpassing the previous record, which was set in 1997; and

WHEREAS, the River Run Conference game—a VHSL Group 2A semifinal, which Floyd County won 81 - 62—was halted after Caleb Tanner's history-making basket in order to present him with the game ball; the record was set before Floyd County competed in the conference championship the next day; and

WHEREAS, Floyd County High School Head Coach Brian Harman credited Caleb Tanner's hard work, focus, and talent as major factors in his player's outstanding accomplishment; the achievement was a huge one and well-deserved; and

WHEREAS, Caleb Tanner is a highly ranked basketball player in other areas; he is a top three-point scorer both in a single game and in a season, he has had four 50-point games in a season, and he has an impressive free-throw percentage of 90.8; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the General Assembly hereby commend Caleb Shane Tanner, a varsity basketball player for Floyd County High School, for being the leading scorer in Virginia High School League history, with 2,713 points; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the Senate prepare a copy of this resolution for presentation to Caleb Shane Tanner as an expression of the General Assembly's congratulations and admiration for his outstanding achievement.
