A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE LEWISVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM OF CHESTER COUNTY FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM MEMBERS, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR WINNING THE 2010 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that the Lewisville High School baseball team garnered the 2010 State Championship title on May 22, 2010; and

Whereas, Lewisville High School entered the best-two-out-of-three championship series with 27 wins and 4 losses and ended the season with a 29-5 record. After losing the first game of the series 10 to 6 and decisively winning the second game 12 to 1 against three-time-defending state champions Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School it was to the delight of their fans and the disappointments of their foes, that the Lewisville High School Lions defeated the Bamberg-Ehrhardt Red Raiders 9 to 4 in the final game to take the state championship series, their first state title since 1992; and

Whereas, in the first inning of play of the championship game, Lewisville Lion Kody Kirkland smashed a two-run home run to give his team an early lead of 2-0, and three more runs in the top of the third inning made the lead 5-0 against the Red Raiders' ace pitcher; and

Whereas, when Lion Will Robbins took the mound for Lewisville, he had a perfect 10-0 season, and he allowed only four runs on five hits in the championship game and struck out seven Red Raiders without walking any; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires strength, strategy, and swiftness, Head Coach Billy Keels and his talented coaching staff used their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team through relentless drills in tireless practices and instilled a standard of excellence in these athletes that will serve them well throughout their lives, both on and off the diamond; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the pride and recognition that these fine athletes have brought to their school and to their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the future. 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 Lewisville High School baseball team of Chester County for an outstanding season, and congratulate the team members, coaches, and school officials for winning the 2010 Class A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal James Knox and Head Coach Billy Keels.
