 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE SCOTT'S BRANCH HIGH
 SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM ON ITS OUTSTANDING SEASON AND IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2010
 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

   05/05/11  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 3)

TO RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE THE SCOTT'S BRANCH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM ON ITS OUTSTANDING SEASON AND IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2010 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, supremely ready for the challenge, the Scott's Branch High School football team nailed the 2010 Class A State Championship title, defeating Williston-Elko 34-32 on November 26, 2010; and

Whereas, Benedict College's stadium in Columbia echoed with the shouts of exuberant Eagle fans, pleased to see their confident predictions of victory realized; and

Whereas, adding even more luster to a scintillating evening, the Eagles enjoyed the pleasure of packing up their second state-championship trophy in three consecutive years of competing for the top prize, a feat that imparted a satisfying ending to an excellent 12-2 season; and

Whereas, such victories do not come overnight; they take determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Head Coach Leonard Johnson and Assistant Coaches Ben Gibson, Lamonte Curry, Seth Stewart, Clinton Bethune, Steve Sisk, Peter Huggins, Tyrone Taylor, Ruth Williams, Ruth Coard, and Johnny Pearson have built their football program into a championship team that refuses to settle for second best; and

Whereas, the Eagles have brought great pride and recognition to their school and community, and the members of the House of Representatives are pleased to have this opportunity to recognize such a wonderful group of young athletes. 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 congratulate the Scott's Branch High School football team on its outstanding season and impressive win of the 2010 Class A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Bernard McDaniel, Sr., and Coach Leonard Johnson of Scott's Branch High School.
