A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE FRANCIS HUGH WARDLAW ACADEMY "LADY PATRIOTS" VOLLEYBALL TEAM FOR ITS OUTSTANDING SEASON AND FOR CAPTURING THE 2008 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, AND TO HONOR THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACHES, AND STAFF.

Whereas, well prepared for the challenge, the Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy "Lady Patriots" volleyball team defeated Coastal on October 27, 2008, to capture the 2008 South Carolina Independent School Association Class A State Championship title; and

Whereas, Coach Kathy James and Assistant Coach Christie Warnken, with grueling practices, hard work, and determination, built their volleyball program into a championship team and have kept it that way; and

Whereas, excitement over this title win was especially intense because everyone was waiting to see if the Lady Patriots could duplicate a feat they achieved during the 1996 and 1997 seasons: back-to-back state championships. These disciplined athletes did not disappoint their supporters, and elated Wardlaw fans came away from the game with the conviction that the Lady Patriots had lost nothing in the translation from the 2007 team to the 2008 team and started making plans to see the team do it again in 2009; and

Whereas, this crowning victory not only marks the team's second straight championship but also caps a superb season for Wardlaw, a record that proves the team is a perennial powerhouse to be reckoned with; and

Whereas, the Lady Patriots have brought great pride and recognition to their school and community, and the Senate is pleased to have this opportunity to recognize such a wonderful group of young women. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy "Lady Patriots" volleyball team for its outstanding season and for capturing the 2008 South Carolina Independent School Association Class A State Championship, and honor the team's exceptional players, coaches, and staff.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Headmaster Ben Couch and Coach Kathy James of Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy.
