A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND THE SOUTH POINTE HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR CAPTURING THE 2017 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the South Pointe High School football team of York County took top honors at the state competition held at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia on Saturday, December 2, 2017; and

Whereas, to the cheers of their exuberant fans, the South Pointe Stallions defeated the Hartsville Red Foxes 38-14 to garner their fourth straight state championship trophy, putting South Pointe in an exclusive league of only five other schools in the State to win four back-to-back titles; and

Whereas, ranked fourth in the country, the Stallions entered the championship as presumed heirs to their own football dynasty with a record of nineteen wins in playoff games; and

Whereas, the Stallions secured the school's sixth football title to fulfill the words emblazoned above the stadium doorway that had led them from the locker room to the championship field: "Leave no doubt"; and

Whereas, in a sport that exacts strength, expertise, and determination, Head Coach Strait Herron and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own experience and passion to produce a quadruple championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the gridiron; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives value the admiration and respect that the South Pointe football players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued achievements in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the South Pointe High School varsity football team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for capturing the 2017 South Carolina Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Al Leonard, principal and Coach Strait Herron.
