A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE THOMAS SUMTER ACADEMY GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR THEIR STELLAR SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON CAPTURING THE 2015 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (SCISA) CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the members of the Senate were pleased to learn that the Thomas Sumter Academy (TSA) girls softball team has won the 2015 SCISA Class AAA State Championship; and

Whereas, after earning last year's Class AA title, the Lady Generals defeated cross-town rival Wilson Hall with an 8-3 victory to sweep a best-of-three series; and

Whereas, winning the Class AAA Championship after moving up from Class AA demonstrates the ability and excellence not only of the players but their coaches and staff, as well; and

Whereas, the Lady Generals, who finished the season 20-2, scored seven of their eight runs with two outs, held at Patriot Park SportsPlex on May 12, 2015, and held their scrappy and well-coached opponents to six hits and three unearned runs; and

Whereas, Head Coach Lou DeMonte, drawing on his own considerable talents and skills, molded his team members into champions once again and proudly watched his players hoist the title trophy; and

Whereas, the journey to winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork, qualities that always will serve these young women well both on and off the field. With admiration, the Senate recognizes and applauds the outstanding work of the Thomas Sumter Academy girls softball team and wishes its members much continued success in all their future endeavors. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, celebrate the Thomas Sumter Academy girls softball team, coaches, and school officials for their stellar season and congratulate them on capturing the 2015 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Class AAA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Head of School Debbie Nix and Head Coach Lou DeMonte of Thomas Sumter Academy.
