A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO honor THE Cambridge Academy Volleyball TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A Stellar SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM on WINNING THE 2024 SOUTH CAROLINA Independent School Association CLASS 1A STATE TITLE.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that Greenwood County's Cambridge Academy's volleyball team captured the title at the state tournament in West Columbia on October 21, 2024; and

 

Whereas, in their third straight appearance at a state match, the Cambridge Lady Cougars successfully delighted their faithful fans, sweeping Wardlaw Academy to take their program's first state trophy. With a 10-0 regular season, Cambridge defeated three teams in the upper bracket before facing off against Wardlaw. After a close first set, Cambridge took the last two sets handily for the state title; and

 

Whereas, the Cambridge volleyball roster included Izzy Southerland, Addison Leopard, Aubrey Louden, Sophie Wilson, Ainsley Vickers, Mia Storer, Yzabel Cowan, Zaylee Landmesser, Khloe Cheeks, Marely Alvarez, and Avari Mitchell; and

 

Whereas, in a sport demanding strength and speed, Head Coach Chelsie Calvert and her skilled staff used their own training to hone a championship team and teach these athletes lifelong principles; and

 

Whereas, the members of the Senate value the pride that the volleyballers have brought to their school and their community, and they look forward to following their future achievements. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, honor the Cambridge Academy volleyball team, coaches, and school officials for a stellar season and congratulate them on winning the 2024 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 1A State title.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Head of School, Brad Griggs, and to Coach Chelsie Calvert.
