Whereas, on November 24, 1972, the Dragons squared off against the Woodruff High School Wolverines in an electrifying game that ended in a 14-13 victory for Bishopville and gave the Dragons a perfect season and the Class AA state championship title; and

Whereas, the Wolverine team captains, senior Carey Scarborough, senior Randy Abraham, and junior Ray Frierson, led their teammates in a remarkable undefeated 13-0 season; and

Whereas, in addition to the senior captains, six more players completed the senior roster: Howard Thomas, Joe Ed Scott, Spann Reames, Walby Craven, Laverne Washington, and Marvin Issac; and

Whereas, the sophomore class boasted six players on the 1972 championship team: Eugene Bracey, John Robinson, Paul Addison, Arthur Stephney, Payton Reed, and Robin Jeffords; and

Whereas, Head Coach J. W. Jones and his assistant coaches, Max Dubose, Ennis Bryant, Charles Stuckey, and Ray Arrants, used their own athletic ability and training to mold the 1972 state championship team, while instilling values that have proven to be important and of great use to these athletes throughout their lives; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina appreciate the recognition that these athletes' achievements have brought to their school, their families, and their communities and wish them well as they celebrate the fortieth anniversary of their victory.
