TO CONGRATULATE THE DANIEL HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM ON AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THE LIONS' CAPTURE OF THE 2022 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, on May 13, 2022, a determined Daniel High School soccer team claimed the 2022 Class AAA State Championship title with a 3-1 victory in penalty kicks, powering past defending champion Brookland-Cayce; and
Whereas, after an hour and a half of lightning delays and two overtimes, the teams remained equal, tied at 3, until penalty kicks, when junior goalkeeper Coleman Wright came up clutch. In an amazing performance, Wright saved three of four penalty shots, sealing the game and championship for the Lions; and
Whereas, Daniel fans noted jubilantly that it was the team's fifth state title and its first since 2003; and
Whereas, seeking redemption over Brookland-Cayce was a motivator for Daniel, but the true catalyst behind this season's push was the fact that this was Coach Phillip Boyer's last season with the Lions. He plans to go to Haiti with his family to help and support the community. He and his wife feel it's their calling. Coach Boyer leaves a worthy legacy to his players, who feel strongly about their coach and look at him as a mentor; and
Whereas, proud of these fine student athletes, the House appreciates the recognition the Daniel High boys soccer 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 Daniel High School boys soccer team on an impressive season and celebrate the Lions' capture of the 2022 Class AAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Shannon Sharkey and Coach Phillip Boyer of Daniel High School.
