A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Dorman High School boys volleyball TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2022 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Dorman boys volleyball team of Spartanburg County captured the state title at the state tournament held at Keenan High School in Columbia on October 15, 2022; and

 

Whereas, to the cheers of their lively fans, the Dorman Cavaliers defeated a competitive Carolina Forest High School in three sets in the best-three-of-five match, 25-12, 25-13, 25-16; and

 

Whereas, in the nascent year of state competition as a high school sport, volleyball was new to many players in the state's forty-one schools with participating teams, but the Cavaliers excelled all season, posting a perfect 23-0 record and losing only a single set in one match all season; and

 

Whereas, motivated to succeed, not only on the court, but also in the classroom, the collective grade-point average (GPA) of the Dorman team is an impressive 4.04; and

 

Whereas, the Cavaliers will graduate nine seniors from the championship team.  Senior Braxton Chipley was named Championship Player of the Game and has signed to play at King's College in the fall, and classmate Tyler Kuehl was named an All-Region player and has signed to play at Limestone College.  Freshman Lucas Helle was also named All-Region; and

 

Whereas, in a sport that requires strength, agility, and speed, Head Coach Drew Copeland and his skilled coaching staff used their own athletic experience and training to forge a championship-caliber team from the ground up and teach these athletes life principles that will endure beyond the nets; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that the Dorman volleyball players have brought to their school and their community, and the members look forward to following their continued accomplishments in 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 the Dorman High School boys volleyball team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2022 South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Bryant Roberson and Coach Drew Copeland.
