VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

3/27/2019

TO CONGRATULATE THE WHITE KNOLL HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE 2018 STATE 5A SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is proud to recognize the White Knoll High School softball team for winning the 2018 State 5A Softball Championship in May of 2018; and

Whereas, this win marks the first Class 5A win of its kind in White Knoll's short history and only its second team state championship win generally, following the 2010 4A Baseball State Championship; and

Whereas, leading up to the state championship, White Knoll won its second-straight Region 5A Championship and saw success in the district round of the playoffs. After suffering a setback against Ashley Ridge and battling through the loser's bracket in the Lower State Championship, the team ultimately won an elimination game at Ashley Ridge to make it to the state championship; and

Whereas, in the state championship series, the White Knoll High School softball team defeated the Byrnes High School team in just two games, with wins of 2-1 at home and 6-2 at Byrnes; and

Whereas, with an exceptional season overall, the White Knoll High School softball team went 33-2 for the year; and

Whereas, the team featured a number of outstanding players, including junior pitcher Andrea Lyon, who was named the 5A Player of the Year by The State newspaper and the South Carolina Coaches Association, and Clemson signee Hannah Goodwin, who hit a walk-off home run to send the team to the state championship; and

Whereas, Head Coach April Farr was named the statewide Coach of the Year by the National Federation of High Schools and the South Carolina Coaches Association; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly appreciate the pride and recognition that the White Knoll High School softball team has brought to its school and community and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by the team and its talented athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate the White Knoll High School softball team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the 2018 State 5A Softball Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the White Knoll High School softball team and Head Coach April Farr.
