TO SALUTE THE CHRIST CHURCH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL GIRLS VARSITY TENNIS TEAM AND ITS COACHES ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON CAPTURING THE 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Christ Church Episcopal School girls varsity tennis team reached the pinnacle for the sixth time in the past seven years, claiming the title once again at the 2014 South Carolina Class A State Championship; and
Whereas, because these athletes played as a tribute to a former teammate, the victory held special sweetness for them. The 6-0 victory against East Clarendon at Cayce was all about honoring former Cavaliers tennis player Meghan McManus. While vacationing in Alaska with family, Meghan died in an aircraft accident; and
Whereas, the team was hungry for the win and earned its kudos. Meghan's best friend, Olivia Lucas, won the No. 1 singles match 6-0, 6-0. The team captain and only senior on the team, she has been a leader on and off the court for Christ Church this season; and
Whereas, in addition, Anna Thompson won the No. 2 singles match 6-1, 6-0; No. 3 singles player Sitton Furman won 6-0, 6-1; Gracie Walls won the No. 4 singles match 6-1, 6-3; and Nila Veerabagu won the No. 5 singles match 6-0, 6-1; and
Whereas, Paula Pieper and Jenna Taylor wrapped up the sweep with a 6-0, 6-4 victory in the No. 2 doubles match; and
Whereas, using their own athletic gifts and skills, Head Coach Sherry Adams and her assistant coach, A.B. Stewart, brought out the best in their athletes and exemplified before them the disciplined labor that can take a team to the top; and
Whereas, proud of their fine work, the House of Representatives is appreciative of the well-deserved praise these young women have brought to their school and community and congratulates the team on its outstanding record. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute the Christ Church Episcopal School girls varsity tennis team and its coaches on a superlative season and congratulate them on capturing the 2014 South Carolina Class A State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Leonard Kupersmith and Head Coach Sherry Adams of Christ Church Episcopal School.
