A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE HAMMOND SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2020 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS 3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Hammond School wrestling team of Richland County clinched the top honors at the state duals held on February 8, 2020; and

Whereas, Hammond School fans were treated to a brilliant display of athletic prowess as the Skyhawks defeated the Ben Lippen Falcons 50-30, capturing the South Carolina Independent School Association Class 3A State Championship title for the second straight year; and

Whereas, the Skyhawks set themselves up for success, defeating rival Cardinal Newman 48-33 on January 29, 2020 to earn the top seed in the eight-team tournament, and advancing past Greenwood Christian in a decisive 60-18 win to achieve their place in the championship matchup. Indicative of their efforts all season long, the Skyhawks put forth a team effort to outlast and outmaneuver their opponents, and were rewarded justly for their efforts; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires a powerful work ethic and the diligence to chase perfection, Head Coach Austin Hood continues to develop the Skyhawk wrestling team into a program dedicated to excellence and success. Together with his skilled coaching staff, he successfully prepared the Hammond School athletes for the rigorous demands required of a championship-caliber team, while simultaneously laying the foundation for future Hammond Skyhawk wrestling successes; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition that the Skyhawk grapplers have earned their school and their community and look forward to hearing of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives recognize and honor the Hammond School wrestling team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2020 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 3A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Chris Angel and Coach Austin Hood of Hammond School.
