VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO CONGRATULATE THE WOFFORD COLLEGE BASKETBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THE TEAM FOR WINNING THE 2019 INGLES SOUTHERN CONFERENCE MEN'S BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is proud to recognize the Wofford College basketball team for winning the Ingles Southern Conference Men's Basketball Championship on March 11, 2019 at the U.S. Cellular Center in Asheville, North Carolina; and
Whereas, in a memorable season for Wofford, the team had an undefeated run through the Southern Conference regular season with a program record of twenty-nine wins, making it the only Division I team that didn't lose a conference game; and
Whereas, this season, Wofford was also ranked for the first time in its history, entering the AP Poll in February at No. 24; and
Whereas, the Southern Conference championship win marks Wofford's fifth Southern Conference championship in ten seasons; and
Whereas, following the Southern Conference championship, the team played in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2015 as a No. 7 seed; and
Whereas, the team partly attributes its success to its senior anchors: Fletcher Magee, the NCAA career leader in three-point field goals, Cameron Jackson, and Matthew Pegram. The team also has a diverse depth of talent and a number of exceptional players, including Keve Aluma, Chevez Goodwin, Nathan Hoover, and Storm Murphy; and
Whereas, Wofford has excelled under the guidance of Head Coach Mike Young, who was named this year's Sporting News Men's Basketball Coach of the Year and U.S. Basketball Writers Association District III Coach of the Year. He has also been named Southern Conference Coach of the Year four times in the last decade; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the Wofford College basketball team has brought to its school and the State of South Carolina 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:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the Wofford College basketball team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor the team for winning the 2019 Ingles Southern Conference Men's Basketball Championship.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Wofford College men's basketball team and Head Coach Mike Young.
