A HOUSE RESOLUTION

INVITING THE McBEE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM AND ITS COACH, LAURIE ROBERTS, TO VISIT AND BE COMMENDED FOR ITS ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN WINNING THE STATE CLASS A CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT A MUTUALLY CONVENIENT TIME.

Whereas, the McBee High School Girls' Basketball Team won the Class A state girls' basketball championship; and

Whereas, the team finished the season undefeated; and

Whereas, this is the second season the team has been undefeated with it forty-ninth straight victory; and

Whereas, McBee has played in eight state championships since 1981 and won its fourth Class A title; and

Whereas, McBee has beaten its opponents by an average of forty-four points; and

Whereas, the team also has outstanding scores off the court by having a cumulative grade average of 3.19; and

Whereas, ten of the team members have met NCAA standards for freshman eligibility; nine are members of the school's honor society; and two are class presidents; and

Whereas, not only do the team members come from a line of relatives who have produced state champions or runners-up in girl sports but the coach comes from a line of championship coaches; and

Whereas, Coach Laurie Roberts' father guided the McBee Panthers to their first championship in 1965, and her husband and brother coached the team to a championship in 1981; and

Whereas, Coach Roberts detected the athletic skills in the team members four years ago and predicted they would be at the championship; and

Whereas, the McBee High School Panthers represent interscholastic athletics at its best. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House invite the McBee High School Girls' Basketball Team and its coach, Laurie Roberts, to visit and be commended for its accomplishments in winning the State Class A Championship in the Hall of the House of Representatives at a mutually convenient time.
