A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE AND RECOGNIZE THE SOUTH AIKEN HIGH SCHOOL "LADY THOROUGHBREDS" GIRLS TENNIS TEAM UPON WINNING THE 1995-96 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO PROVIDE THAT THE TEAM, COACH, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS SHALL BE GRANTED THE PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1996, AT A TIME TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SPEAKER.

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives are very pleased to learn that the South Aiken High School Girls Tennis Team has captured the 1995-96 Class AAAA State Championship; and

Whereas, the "Lady Thoroughbreds", who play three middle school students as seeded players and start only one senior, blitzed Irmo High School 4-2 to capture this championship; and

Whereas, this title is the school's first state championship since winning the Class AAA golf crown in 1989; and

Whereas, it is also South Aiken's first state championship as a Class AAAA school; and

Whereas, this talented team finished the season undefeated with an excellent record of 17-0; and

Whereas, the "Lady Thoroughbreds" were led throughout the year by South Aiken Head Coach Barbara Sproull who without question is one of the finest tennis coaches in South Carolina; and

Whereas, South Aiken's youth may have actually worked in its favor, as the players may not have realized the magnitude of competing for a state title; and

Whereas, the accomplishments of the South Aiken High School Girls Tennis Team this season have brought deserved recognition and credit not only upon the members of the team and their school but upon their community and county as well. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, hereby extend their congratulations to the South Aiken High School "Lady Thoroughbreds" Girls Tennis Team on winning the 1995-96 Class AAAA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that the team, coaches, and school officials be granted the privilege of the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday, March 27, 1996, at a time to be determined by the Speaker for the purpose of being recognized and congratulated.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Head Coach Barbara Sproull.
