 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO SALUTE THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACH,

   03/07/18  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 10)

TO CELEBRATE THE NEW COVENANT SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR CAPTURING THE 2018 SOUTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO SALUTE THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACH, AND STAFF ON A SUPERB SEASON.

Whereas, fully prepared for the challenge, the New Covenant School boys basketball team crowned an outstanding season by capturing the 2018 South Carolina Association of Christian Schools (SCACS) Class A State Championship title, defeating Foothills 53-50 on Friday, February 16, 2018, at Columbia's Grace Christian School; and

Whereas, with the biggest prize in SCACS 1A boys basketball on the line, the Cavaliers focused all their knowledge, skill, and determination, took to heart their coach's exhortations, and came through like the champions they are; and

Whereas, jubilant New Covenant fans cheered with excitement as the Cavs, with equal doses of heart and hustle, orchestrated a game that gave sports pundits confidence in predicting a repeat performance for 2019; and

Whereas, having honed his players into a championship machine, Coach Patrick Miller saw the fruit of his labors as the title trophy was hoisted; and

Whereas, as icing on the cake, the Cavs saw two of their number tapped for the All-Tournament Team, Stuart Marshburn and James Curnow; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the fine young men of the New Covenant School boys basketball team for leading with excellence both in the classroom and on the court. Go, Cavs! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the New Covenant School boys basketball team for capturing the 2018 South Carolina Association of Christian Schools Class A State Championship title and salute the team's exceptional players, coach, and staff on a superb season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Joseph A. Canney and Coach Patrick Miller of New Covenant School.
