A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE GREENVILLE'S CHRIST CHURCH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL BOYS GOLF TEAM UPON WINNING THE 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, mentally tough and physically ready, Greenville's Christ Church Episcopal School boys golf team capped an excellent season by driving their way to the 2014 South Carolina Class A State Championship title; and

Whereas, the Cavaliers won their second consecutive state championship with a 584-667 victory over St. Joseph's on May 6, 2014; and

Whereas, the excitement of these young athletes could be felt throughout the golf course at Greenwood Country Club as they breezed past the runner-up by an astounding eighty-three strokes; and

Whereas, in the process, Christ Church nailed a record fourteenth boys golf state title, its twelfth in the past nineteen years, and set both school and Class A records for the lowest two-day total in a state tournament; and

Whereas, Christ Church sophomore Stephen Reynolds shot a 7-under-par 65 Tuesday to wind up at 4-under 140, win medalist honors, tie the Class A record for a state tournament, and beat the school record by one stroke; and

Whereas, in addition, the Cavaliers put two other players on the All-State team (the top 10), Jackson Weede and Alex Mahaffey, both of whom finished in a tie for fifth at 150. Jackson Weede was the 2013 individual champion; and

Whereas, under the leadership of Coach Kristen Rooke, the team's demonstration of heart, desire, hard work, perseverance, and talent showed opposing teams and spectators why Christ Church is the "Number One" team in the State; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the Christ Church boys golf team for its masterly strategy and skill on the fairways and greens, and the members salute this team's dedicated athletes for their consistent excellence. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Greenville's Christ Church Episcopal School boys golf team upon winning the 2014 South Carolina Class A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Leonard Kupersmith and Coach Kristen Rooke of Christ Church Episcopal School.
