Whereas, the "Bulldogs" finished the season with the State Championship and a record of 23-8; and

Whereas, Head Coach William Knopf exhibited tremendous leadership and guidance throughout the season; and

Whereas, Butch Smith, who was severely burned last summer, courageously scored nineteen points to lead all scorers; and

Whereas, the Glenforest School "Bulldogs" have brought well-deserved recognition upon their school, county, and South Carolina that will forever be reflected in our State and local history books. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
