VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY GIRLS LACROSSE TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2012 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Fort Mill High School varsity girls lacrosse team of York County took top honors at the state competition on Saturday, April 14, 2012; and
Whereas, to the exuberance of their fans, the Fort Mill Lady Yellow Jackets defeated J. L. Mann High School 12-11 in overtime, repeating their win four days previously over Wando High School in double overtime to take the Lower State Conference championship; and
Whereas, in both of the final games, Fort Mill sophomore Kirsten Terry delivered the game winner for the Lady Jackets in overtime, carrying the Lady Jackets to their first state lacrosse title; and
Whereas, although in the state finals the Lady Jackets trailed at the half 7-4, through dogged determination they battled their way to a 10-10 matchup against the J. L. Mann Patriots to take the game into overtime; and
Whereas, one minute into the overtime, Fort Mill scored, but three minutes before the end of the overtime, the Lady Patriots answered with a goal and forced the Lady Jackets to fight for ground balls and get into a position to make the winning score; and
Whereas, senior and team captain Mady Katz and sophomore Kirsten Terry led their team in the championship game with four goals each, and junior goalie and team captain Rosalie Hawkins posted six saves; and
Whereas, Fort Mill finished the season with a 15-2 record, and Mady Katz finished her final high school season with an outstanding record of 78 goals and 99 ground balls; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands quickness and agility, strategy and strength, Head Coach Nicol Morris and Assistant Coach Kristin Worley capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off field of play; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the recognition that the Fort Mill High School varsity girls lacrosse players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Fort Mill High School varsity girls lacrosse team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season, and congratulate them for winning the 2012 Class AAAA State Championship title.
