A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE HAMMOND SCHOOL LACROSSE TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR CAPTURING THE 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Hammond School lacrosse team took top honors at the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) state competition against Heathwood Hall Episcopal School; and

Whereas, soaring to an 8-6 victory, the Hammond Skyhawks wrested the championship crown from the hands of the Heathwood Hall Highlanders. It was a sweet moment for the Skyhawks, who lost to Heathwood last year in an unforgettable, nail-biting, sudden-death overtime period in that state title game; and

Whereas, with this 2014 win, Hammond earned its second SCISA lacrosse state championship; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands quickness and agility, strategy and strength, Coach Jonathan Patterson and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to hone the skills of their athletes and teach them lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life both on and off the field; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition the Hammond School lacrosse players have brought to their school and community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the years ahead. 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 Hammond School lacrosse team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for capturing the 2014 South Carolina Independent School Association State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Head of School Chris Angel and Coach Jonathan Patterson.
