Whereas, a former player in the National Basketball Association, Dr. Robert P. Sulek has coached the girls varsity team since 1997 and has led them to six state championship titles in that time; and

Whereas, Coach Sulek and Assistant Coaches Kenn Luthanen, Stacy Benedik, and Rick Meccariello, employing their own athletic skills and experience, forged another championship team in a sport that requires strength, agility, precision, and speed; and

Whereas, with relentless work in demanding practices, the Lady Dolphins have brought pride to their school and community through a winning season and through capturing the state championship title; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to acknowledge the achievements of the Hilton Head girls basketball team. 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 Hilton Head Academy Preparatory School girls basketball team, of Beaufort County, for a successful season, and congratulate the players and coaches for garnering the 2008 South Carolina Independent School Athletic Association Region IV Class AAA State Championship title.
