VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE SOUTH POINTE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2015 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that the members of the South Pointe High School Stallions football team took home the top honors at the AAA State Championship; and
Whereas, this year's win is the second for South Pointe in two years. They claimed the title after a 35-0 shutout, their first of the season, against the Midland Valley High School Mustangs on December 12, 2015; and
Whereas, South Pointe's defense controlled the Mustangs the entire game. The Stallions set the tone with a fourth down stop on fourth-and-inches. Quarterback Greg Ruff led the team down the field on a 65-yard drive which ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by Voshon St. Hill. South Pointe scored on the next two drives as well, bringing the score at halftime to 21-0; and
Whereas, before the first half ended, the Mustangs had a chance to cut into the 21-0 lead and get back in the game. The Stallions' defense held them to a missed 26-yard field goal and senior defensive back Nick McCloud intercepted in the end zone to end the half and the last serious threat by the Mustangs; and
Whereas, South Pointe continued to dominate in the second half. Quarterback Ruff scored two more touchdowns bringing the score to 35-0. South Pointe ended the game with 298 total rushing yards on 47 carries and 168 total passing yards; and
Whereas, the Stallions' All-Region players were Eli Adams, Quay Brown, Lamon Bryant, Bryson Cooper, Derion Kendrick, Nick McCloud, Greg Ruff. Numerous other players were recognized by The Herald, USA Today, Max Preps, and the South Carolina High School League; and
Whereas, the members of the Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the South Pointe High School Stallions have brought to their school and community look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor the South Pointe High School football team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2015 South Carolina Class AAA State Championship.
