A house RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE THE PINEWOOD PREPARATORY SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER TEAM ON ITS EXCELLENT SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM'S FINE ATHLETES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2022 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS 3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITle.

Whereas, supremely ready for the challenge, the Pinewood Preparatory School girls soccer team captured the 2022 South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA) Class 3A State Championship title, defeating Hammond 4-0 on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at Cardinal Newman's St. Sebastian Stadium in Columbia; and

Whereas, the Panthers kept the Skyhawks out of scoring position for much of the game, while goals from Kailen Dasinger, Isabelle Pesce, and Sara Clayton secured a 4-0 victory and a second straight SCISA 3A state championship. It was also the second straight year Pinewood topped Hammond for the title; and

Whereas, the total team effort was spearheaded by Pinewood midfielder Jessica Osborne, who met every Hammond assault and kicked it away. The Panthers' defense kept Hammond scoreless until the whistle; and

Whereas, such victories do not come overnight; they take determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Head Coach Gail Osborne has built her girls soccer program into one of championship caliber that refuses to settle for second best; and

Whereas, the journey to winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork, qualities that always will serve these young women well both on and off the soccer field. With admiration, the House recognizes and applauds the outstanding work of the Pinewood Preparatory School girls soccer team and wishes its members much continued success in all their future endeavors. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute the Pinewood Preparatory School girls soccer team on its excellent season and congratulate the team's fine athletes on their impressive win of the 2022 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 3A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Head of School Dan Seiden and Head Coach Gail Osborne of Pinewood Preparatory School.
