TO SALUTE THE SPARTANBURG DAY SCHOOL BOYS TENNIS TEAM, COACH, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON NETTING THE 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (SCISA) CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, crowning an unforgettable season, the Spartanburg Day School boys tennis team defeated Palmetto Christian to grab top honors at the 2014 SCISA Class AA State Championship competition, held at Cayce Tennis Center on Monday, May 5, 2014; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans and disappointment of their foes, the Spartanburg Day Griffins took home the 2014 title trophy, a prize that officially made them "threepeat" state champs and gave them their thirteenth title win in school history; and
Whereas, the 6-2 decision was no surprise to ecstatic Griffin followers, who, by the time the trophy was hoisted, were already making plans to see the team carry off next year's title. With no seniors on the current team and a number of young players challenging for spots on next year's team, Spartanburg Day looks strong for title defense in 2015; and
Whereas, displaying talent and mettle, Spartanburg Day got wins at No. 3 through 6 singles from Connor Smith, Bryson Nager, Rollins Turner, and Rett Foust; and
Whereas, Anders Ike and Matthew Poliakoff won at No. 1 doubles, while Rollins Turner and Connor Smith combined for a victory at No. 2 doubles for the Griffins. Bryson Nager and Rett Foust took No. 3 doubles; and
Whereas, in a sport that requires rigorous training, strength, speed, and agility, Coach Bob Allsbrook used his own athletic skill and knowledge to produce a winning team and instill lessons that will prove invaluable to these fine athletes throughout life, both on and off the court; and
Whereas, appreciative of the great pride and recognition these athletes have brought to their school and community, the House of Representatives congratulates the Griffins, and the members look with interest toward hearing of their further exploits as tennis champions. 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 Spartanburg Day School boys tennis team, coach, and school officials on a superlative season and congratulate them on netting the 2014 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Class AA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Head of School Rachel S. Deems and Coach Bob Allsbrook of Spartanburg Day School.
