A house RESOLUTION

 

TO SALUTE THE CAMDEN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TENNIS TEAM FOR WINNING THE 2023 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO HONOR THE PLAYERS AND COACHES ON A FABULOUS SEASON.

 

Whereas, on May 6, 2023, at Florence's Dr. Eddie Floyd Tennis Center, the young players of the Camden High School boys tennis team showed the mettle that clinched their first state title since 1991; and

 

Whereas, the Bulldogs soundly defeated Daniel 5-1 in the battle for the state's top prize in Class AAA boys tennis. Winners for the team were David Pope, Slade Funderburk, Hank Greenway, Alex Hinton, and Wilson Nash. The team finished the season with a fine 13-2 record; and

 

Whereas, it was the first state title for first-year Head Coach Abby Baytes and Coach Reese Stanton, who, rightly proud of their team, have instilled a standard of excellence in their athletes that will serve them well throughout their lives, both on and off the court; and

 

Whereas, to add glitter to an already lustrous victory, four Camden High players were selected for All-Region honors, and three were tapped for All-State; and

 

Whereas, appreciative of the well-deserved recognition these athletes have brought to their school and community, the House of Representatives congratulates the Bulldogs, and the members look forward with interest to hearing of their future exploits as tennis champions. 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 Camden High School boys tennis team for winning the 2023 Class AAA State Championship title and honor the players and coaches on a fabulous season.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Rose Montgomery and Head Coach Abby Baytes of Camden High School.
