Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that The Carolina Academy High School girls tennis team recently capped a dominating season of seventeen victories by winning their fifteenth state championship in SCISA Class AA; and

Whereas, The Carolina Academy Lady Bobcats not only recorded seventeen victories, including victories against higher classified teams at Wilson Hall and Florence Christian Academy, but in the process secured their sixth consecutive regional championship; and

Whereas, during the final week of statewide competition, the Lady Bobcats won seventeen of the eighteen individual matches played in their sweep of all opponents they faced in their championship run; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires integrity, athleticism, self-discipline, and perseverance, the players of this team have become an unrivaled championship team through rigorous practice and selfless teamwork; and

Whereas, capitalizing on God-given talents and using sheer determination, team members Rebecca Weaver, Hannah Weaver, Haven Brown, Jamie Yarborough, Haley Hancock, Harula Paraschos, Mary Bryant Matthews, Gracen Parker, Morgan Parrott, Ashley Young, Mary Palmer Askins, and Kelly Lynch earned their spot in South Carolina sports history and created life-long memories; and

Whereas, this winning team is coached by Jordan Osborne; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives commend The Carolina Academy High School girls tennis team for another outstanding season and for bringing great pride and positive recognition to their school, community, and families. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
