TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR COACH AL LOWN OF SILVER BLUFF HIGH SCHOOL IN AIKEN FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CAREER AS BOTH COACH AND EDUCATOR, TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, AND TO WISH HIM WELL IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to educate the young people of this great State; and

Whereas, prominent in the roll call of such benefactors to our youth, Coach Al Lown of Silver Bluff High School for thirty-five years has sought to instill in his student athletes the skills and character traits necessary for success in the classroom, on the gridiron, and in the workplace; and

Whereas, now in his twenty-third season with the Bulldogs, Coach Lown presently anchors the Silver Bluff High School Athletic Department, serving as both athletic director and head football coach. Twenty-three of his thirty-five years as a head coach have been spent at Silver Bluff; and

Whereas, with an overall record of 212-76, Coach Lown has led his players to fourteen Region titles and eight appearances in the Lower State title game. He owns two state titles, as well as two perfect seasons; and

Whereas, in addition, forty of his players have received scholarships and five have played in the NFL; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives, grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Coach Lown has bestowed on his athletes and on the schools where he coached, takes great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trusts he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of 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 Coach Al Lown of Silver Bluff High School in Aiken for his outstanding career as both coach and educator, congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement, and wish him well in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Coach Al Lown.
