A house RESOLUTION

 

To honor the Wren High School Hurricanes for winning their second consecutive South Carolina CLASS AAA volleyball state championship TITLE and to congratulate them on a spectacular season.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Wren High School Hurricanes volleyball team triumphed over the Camden High School Bulldogs to secure the 2023 Class AAA Volleyball State Championship title. The championship game was held at Dreher High School on November 4, 2023; and

 

Whereas, this was the Hurricanes' second consecutive year winning the state championship title and third consecutive year attending a championship game. Both teams were well prepared, and the game was hard fought, but the Hurricanes powered through to claim the title. The game began with the Hurricanes dropping the first set, but they bounced back and won the next three defeating the Bulldogs 3-1 (26-28, 25-12, 26-24, 25-21).

 

Whereas, in a sport that requires agility, endurance, and strength, Head Coach Amy Godfrey utilized her athletic prowess to create a team of champions and teach these athletes life principles that will endure beyond the court. However, Coach Godfrey attributes much of the team's success to leadership of the senior players. Being that this was their third year playing a championship game, they were able to provide useful insight to the rest of the team and push them to reach their fullest potential; and

 

Whereas, reflecting on their glorious win, Coach Godfrey said "It feels amazing to do this twice and I couldn't have done it without a better group of girls"; and

 

Whereas, the Hurricanes volleyball team has brought great pride and recognition to its school and community, and the House of Representatives is pleased to have this opportunity to recognize such a wonderful group of young athletes. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the Wren High School Hurricanes for winning their second consecutive South Carolina Class AAA Volleyball State Championship title and congratulate them on a spectacular season.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Dr. Kyle Whitfield and Head Coach Amy Godfrey of Wren High School.
