TO CONGRATULATE THE GETTYS D. BROOME HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY SOFTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND FOR WINNING THE 2022 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Broome High School softball team of Spartanburg County took home the state trophy from the state series held in Gilbert on Friday, May 27, 2022; and
Whereas, to the cheers of their loyal and exuberant fans, the Broome Lady Centurions defeated a competitive Aynor High School 6-0 in the final game of the best-of-three series to secure the team's first state championship in the program's history; and
Whereas, senior pitcher Karley Green threw for seven shutout innings, including fifteen strikeouts, to seal the historic victory for Broome; and
Whereas, the Lady Centurions took game one of the series 7-0 in Aynor, but dropped game two 2-1 on their home diamond, which placed the series-deciding game in Gilbert; and
Whereas, Broome took an early lead 1-0 on an RBI single from senior infielder Mattie Reid and extended the lead in the second inning with three more runs; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands strength, strategy, and speed, Head Coach Rebecca Cooper and her skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic ability and training to hone a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life principles that will endure beyond the diamond; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that the Broome High softball players have brought to their school and their community, and the members look forward to following the team's continued accomplishments in the days ahead. 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 Gettys D. Broome High School varsity softball team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and for winning the 2022 South Carolina Class AAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Rodney Graves and Coach Rebecca Cooper.
