VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE RIDGE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2019 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Ridge View High School boys varsity basketball team of Richland County captured the state title at the tournament held at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Saturday, March 2, 2019; and
Whereas, to the cheers of their exuberant fans, the Ridge View Blazers defeated a fine, competitive Wilson High School 65-52 to garner the team's second straight state trophy in an even more dominating round of playoff games than last year averaging a 37.2 margin of victory in their first four playoffs games; and
Whereas, the title game was a repeat of last year's match-up, narrowly won by Ridge View 74-70. This year, however, the Blazers left nothing to chance, going on an 18-5 run late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter, taking charge and never looking back; and
Whereas, senior guard for the Blazers, Walyn Napper, led his teammates with 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds, while teammate Ja'Von Benson posted 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Cincere Scott also contributed 14 points; and
Whereas, Ridge View's Javon Anderson scored 8, Crosby Harris-James 4, Tyler Rice 3, Patrick Jenkins 2, and Malcolm Wilson 2. Making the Blazers' victory all the sweeter, senior forward Xavior Major, who has autism, added another 2 when he scored a basket with less than a minute left in the game; and
Whereas, in a sport that requires strength, agility, and accuracy, Head Coach Yerrick Stoneman and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own experience and passion to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the court; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that the Ridge View basketball players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days to come. 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 Ridge View High School boys varsity basketball team, coaches, and school officials for an extraordinary season and congratulate them for winning the 2019 South Carolina Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Brenda Mack-Foxworth, principal of Ridge View High School, and Coach Yerrick Stoneman.
