Whereas, in its twenty-eighth year of honoring the nation's best high-school athletes, the Gatorade Company in collaboration with USA TODAY High School Sports selected Moseley, who plays outside hitter and middle; and

Whereas, the Gatorade Player of the Year program annually recognizes one winner from the District of Columbia and one from each state that sanctions high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track and field; and

Whereas, comprised of leading sport-specific experts and veteran high school sports journalists, a national advisory panel helped select Sydney Moseley from high-school volleyball players statewide; and

Whereas, this past season, the six-foot senior accrued 403 digs, 351 kills, 72 assists, 62 service aces, and 40 blocks, and she led the Hillcrest High School Rams to the team's second-straight Class AAAA State Championship victory, recording 14 kills in a 3-1 state title victory against Aiken High School; and

Whereas, the Gatorade award recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court, Sydney Moseley is truly as worthy of the award in this regard as she is for her superior athletic ability; and

Whereas, maintaining a 5.23 weighted GPA in the classroom and ranking first in her graduating class, Sydney is a member of the National Honor Society and the Hillcrest Beta Club chapter, and has volunteered on behalf of Youth Leadership Greenville, the Fountain Inn Rotary Club, Greenville Hospital, and March of Dimes, and has donated her time as a youth volleyball and swimming instructor; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Coaches Association of Women's Sports will honor Sydney Mosley as the AAAA Volleyball Player of the Year at a luncheon held at the Columbia Conference Center on Sunday, January 27, 2013; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the pride and recognition that Sydney Mosley has brought to her school, community, and State and wish her success in all of her future endeavors. 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 athletic accomplishments of Sydney Mosley from Hillcrest High School in Simpsonville, and congratulate her upon being named the 2012-2013 Gatorade South Carolina Volleyball Player of the Year and the South Carolina Coaches Association of Women's Sports Class AAAA Volleyball Player of the Year.
