TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE GAFFNEY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM FOR CAPTURING THE 2010 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, AND TO HONOR THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACHES, AND STAFF.
Whereas, fully ready for the challenge, the Gaffney High School boys basketball team crowned a splendid season by capturing the 2010 Class AAAA State Championship title, defeating Lexington 71-57 at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Friday, March 5, 2010; and
Whereas, jubilant Gaffney fans cheered their excitement as the Indians' 12-0 fourth-quarter spurt buried Lexington, nailing the title for Gaffney; and
Whereas, within minutes after the final buzzer, a special edition of the Gaffney Ledger proclaiming the Gaffney Indians as "Kings of the Court" had been printed and was being held aloft in triumph at the Colonial Life Arena; and
Whereas, the championship game demonstrated the Indians' top-drawer strength, agility, and skill, as well as finely honed team effort and good sportsmanship; and
Whereas, using these talents and attributes, the team, under the capable leadership of Coach Mark Huff, showed fans and foes alike that Gaffney's victory was no accident; and
Whereas, adding luster to an already scintillating season, Coach Huff nabbed his fourth state championship at Gaffney with this win, bringing the school's total number of basketball state titles to five, and the Indians are stocked with enough talent to wrap up several more; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the young men of the Gaffney High School boys basketball team for leading with excellence both in the classroom and on the hardwood and expects to hear of continued great achievements in the years ahead. 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 commend the Gaffney High School boys basketball team for capturing the 2010 Class AAAA State Championship title, and honor the team's exceptional players, coaches, and staff.
