TO CONGRATULATE THE LATTA HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM FOR AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THE VIKINGS' CAPTURE OF THE 2018 CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, on Saturday, May 19, 2018, the Latta High School baseball team claimed the 2018 Class AA State Championship title with a 4-3 victory, powering past Chesnee at Lexington County Stadium in the final third game of the series; and
Whereas, Latta scored a run in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a tie and secure the school's second state baseball title in four years; and
Whereas, by the time the players had claimed the crown, Latta fans were already making plans to return next year to see their team repeat the feat; and
Whereas, demonstrating courage, drive, and pure heart, the Vikings turned in a marvelous performance of teamwork, keeping the excited crowd enthralled; and
Whereas, using his own considerable athletic training and skills, Head Coach Don Cribb, assisted by an able staff, built his players into championship caliber and encouraged them not to settle for second best; and
Whereas, proud of these fine student athletes, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the recognition the Latta High School baseball players have brought to their school and community, and the members look to hear of many more victories for the school in coming seasons. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Latta High School baseball team for an impressive season and celebrate the Vikings' capture of the 2018 Class AA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Leigh Sloan and Coach Don Cribb of Latta High School.
