A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE SENIOR ANSLEY SPEAKS OF MAULDIN HIGH SCHOOL ON AN OUTSTANDING HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC CAREER, AND TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR HER FOR WINNING HER FOURTH CONSECUTIVE CLASS AAAA/AAA INDIVIDUAL GIRLS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TITLE.

Whereas, a week after helping Mauldin's girls tennis team to a third consecutive Class AAAA state championship, Ansley Speaks added to her impressive individual trophy collection; and

Whereas, Ansley, a senior who has committed to Furman University on a full scholarship, won her fourth straight Class AAAA/AAA singles championship on November 10, 2012, at the Cayce Tennis and Fitness Center; and

Whereas, the top-seeded standout swept past four opponents, each in straight sets. In the final, she defeated second-seeded Rachel McNeely of West-Oak 6-3, 6-2; and

Whereas, this coveted honor is by no means her first; during her years playing for Mauldin, Ansley has taken home numerous awards. Named one of two 2012 Wendy's High School Heisman Award winners for Mauldin High School, Ansley is the first Mauldin tennis athlete to win the award since records became available online in 2000. She also played number 1 for the 2012 North Senior All-Star match and took home top honors, ending her high school tennis career with an enviable record of 191-20; and

Whereas, in addition, she is a four-time state singles tournament champion, two-time team state champion, four-time All-State player, and two-time Most Valuable Player for Mauldin, to name just a few of her achievements. She has played as top seed on Mauldin varsity since seventh grade and is a three-time Class AAAA Player of the Year. Further, Ansley was a member of Student Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA); and

Whereas, Ansley, also gifted academically, is an AP Scholar with Honor and is on the All-A Honor Roll. She was a junior marshal, Palmetto Fellow recipient, member of National Honor Society, and number four in her class; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to acknowledge Ansley's remarkable high school athletic career and extends its heartiest congratulations to her on attaining her fourth state singles title. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute senior Ansley Speaks of Mauldin High School on an outstanding high school athletic career, and recognize and honor her for winning her fourth consecutive Class AAAA/AAA Individual Girls State Championship tennis title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Ansley Speaks.
