VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM OF ANDERSON UNIVERSITY, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE PLAYERS AND COACHES FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND FOR ADVANCING TO THE ELITE EIGHT IN DIVISION II OF THE NCAA.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Anderson University has taken the Southeast Regional Championship and earned an invitation, not only to the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen, but also to the Elite Eight; and
Whereas, the first school in South Carolina to take Southeast Regional honors since Lander University in 1999, Anderson University boasts that it is only the second South Atlantic Conference (SAC) team in South Carolina to earn a trip to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight; and
Whereas, in 2010, Head Coach Jason Taylor was the youngest coach to guide a men's basketball team to the NCAA Tournament in either Division I or II; and
Whereas, to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their opponents, the Anderson Trojans defeated tenth-ranked Lincoln Memorial from Tennessee, Alabama's Montevallo State, and third-ranked Augusta State from Georgia in mid-March for the school's first-ever Southeast Regional trophy; and
Whereas, junior guard Nick Trull, a major in kinesiology with a 3.94 grade-point average, distinguished himself by winning an NCAA Elite 88 award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average among the participants at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 88 championships. He was also named the SAC Scholar-Athlete for men's basketball and earned Capital One Academic All-District III men's basketball second-team honors; and
Whereas, senior guard Brandon Young and freshman guard Denzail Jones earned NCAA Southeast Regional All-Tournament accolades, and both were named to the SAC first team while Kevis Cornwell earned second-team honors; and
Whereas, in a sport that requires speed, agility, strength, and precision, the Anderson Trojans ended their third consecutive winning season with an impressive 21-12 record, second only to the 24 game wins in 2010; and
Whereas, using their own athletic talent and training, Coach Taylor and his fine coaching staff forged a championship team through demanding practices filled with relentless drills and set a standard for excellence that will prove invaluable to these athletes throughout life both on and off the court; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is grateful for the pride and recognition that the members of the Anderson University men's basketball team have brought to their university and to the Palmetto State through their accomplishments this year and look to hear of their continued success. 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 honor the men's basketball team of Anderson University, and congratulate the players and coaches for an outstanding season and for advancing to the Elite Eight in Division II of the NCAA.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Head Coach Jason Taylor.
