Whereas, the South Carolina Senate notes with pleasure that the Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy Lady Patriots have captured their eighth state championship trophy since 1981, six in the Class A and two in the Class AA; and
Whereas, after dominating the court 16-2 in the first quarter of the final game, the Lady Patriots never looked back and defeated James Island Christian School 45-26 to take the 2009 South Carolina Independent School Association State basketball championship; and
Whereas, the players shot and rebounded their way to victory while freshman Katelyn Reardon led the Patriots with 11 points, Gina Easler followed with 8, and Anna Yarborough scored 5; all three were named to the all-tournament team; and
Whereas, through arduous practices and relentless effort, the Lady Patriots honed their strength, agility, and skill to set a school record of seven players who topped one hundred points each for a single season; and
Whereas, employing their personal athletic skills and leadership qualities, Head Coach Jim Lisenby and Assistant Coach Jody Addy molded the Wardlaw Academy Lady Patriots into another state championship team and promoted a standard of excellence which will serve these players well throughout life; and
Whereas, on and off the court, these players have set an example in their school and community for others to follow and desire to give their God thanks for their successes; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate take great pleasure in noting the athletic achievements of these outstanding young women and look forward to hearing of their accomplishments in the future. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Francis Hugh Wardlaw Academy girls' varsity basketball team of Edgefield County for winning the 2009 South Carolina Independent School Association Class A State Championship title, and congratulate the team players, coaches, and school officials for yet another victorious season.
