VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE FRANCIS HUGH WARDLAW ACADEMY VARSITY EIGHT-MAN FOOTBALL TEAM OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY FOR GARNERING THE 2008 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM'S ATHLETES, COACHES, AND STAFF FOR AN IMPRESSIVE, UNDEFEATED SEASON.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate note with pleasure that the Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy Patriots added to their three championships in football over the last ten years by defeating the Andrew Jackson Academy Confederates of Ehrhardt, 36-30 for the 2008 eight-man football crown; and
Whereas, as a result of dogged determination and tireless effort, the Patriots finished their 2008 season on the gridiron with a remarkable twelve victories and no defeats, to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their foes; and
Whereas, three players earned a spot on the All-State team: Jorgedebro Pacifico and Travis Gagnon, both of whom signed to play football for Newberry College in 2009; and Kevin Ginn, who will attend Hargrave Military Academy for a year before entering the United States Naval Academy where he will play football; and
Whereas, using their own athletic ability and leadership skills, Head Coach Hubert Morris and Assistant Coaches Chalmers Carr and Duane Faust have forged a championship team and fostered excellence through grueling practices and relentless drills; and
Whereas, the Wardlaw Patriots on and off the field have brought recognition and pride to their school and their community; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate expect to hear of continued successes of these fine young athletes in the future and are pleased to recognize them for capturing another state championship football victory. 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 varsity eight-man football team of Edgefield County for garnering the 2008 South Carolina Independent School Association Class A State Championship title, and congratulate the team's athletes, coaches, and staff for an impressive, undefeated season.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Headmaster Ben Couch and Coach Hubert Morris.
