A house RESOLUTION

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is proud to recognize the East Clarendon High School golf team for winning the South Carolina Class A state championship on May 9, 2022, at Cheraw State Park Golf Course; and

Whereas, this historic win marks the program's second state championship in school history, the last time being in 2018. In 2021, East Clarendon finished second in the state championship match; and

Whereas, in the championship tournament, the East Clarendon Wolverines shot a three hundred forty-eight and defeated their nearest competitor, the Southside Christian Sabres, by thirteen shots, and twenty-one shots over third place, Hannah-Pamplico High School; and

Whereas, the team was led by junior Harper Epperson who shot a seventy-eight and finished second, and by freshman, Cayleigh Jane Goff, who shot an eighty-four and finished fourth, both earning All-State honors. Nate Coker and Dalton Watts also both played major roles in the team's success over the last several years. The other members of this team were Jimmy Anderson, Ryan Sullivan, Ethan Priest, Collin Myers, and Mattie Kelly; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires precision, power, and strategy, Head Coach Patrick Kelly maximized his own athletic ability and training to hone a championship caliber team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the greens; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Clarendon High School golf team has brought to its school and community and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by the team and its talented athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the East Clarendon High School golf team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the 2022 South Carolina Class A state championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the East Clarendon High School golf team, Coach Patrick Kelly, and Principal Jason Cook.
