TO CELEBRATE THE MILITARY MAGNET ACADEMY GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR CAPTURING THE 2021 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO APPLAUD THE TEAM'S STELLAR PLAYERS, COACHES, AND STAFF.
Whereas, the Military Magnet Academy girls basketball team captured the 2021 Class A state championship title, defeating Southside Christian 54-49 on Saturday, March 6, 2021; and
Whereas, last season, Military Magnet girls basketball got a taste of championship experience; this year, the Lady Eagles are state champions. It was the school's first state championship in girls basketball and only the second in a team sport in school history; and
Whereas, Military Magnet used a 10-0 run in the second half to defeat Southside Christian, and guards Chazmin Bradley and Kaelin Davis made sure the Lady Eagles finished the job well on Saturday. The two sophomores are part of a young nucleus for Military Magnet, which has six sophomores, four eighth graders, and just two seniors; and
Whereas, Bradley and Davis combined for 12 of the Lady Eagles' 14 points in the fourth quarter. With her team leading 52-49, Bradley hit two free throws, with six seconds remaining, to put the game away. She finished with 18 points. Davis finished with 10, and Rykia Jakes had 12 points, all in the first half; and
Whereas, backed by the able support of the team's two assistant coaches, Courtney Reed and Melvin Cooper, Head Coach Nathaniel Taylor honed his players into a championship machine and saw the fruit of his labors realized as the title trophy was hoisted; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the young players of the Military Magnet Academy girls basketball team for leading with excellence, both in the classroom and on the court, and expects to hear of continued great achievements in the years ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the Military Magnet Academy girls basketball team for capturing the 2021 Class A State Championship title and applaud the team's stellar players, coaches, and staff.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Robert Perrineau and Head Coach Nathaniel Taylor of the Military Magnet Academy.
