VERSIONS OF THIS BILL

6/1/2011

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE SUMTER HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM AND COACHES FOR WINNING THE 2011 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that the Sumter High School baseball team won the 2011 Class AAAA State Championship on Friday, May 20, 2011, the second time the team has taken the state's top honors; and

Whereas, to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their opponents, the Sumter Gamecocks shut out the James F. Byrnes Rebels, 11-0 on Monday in the first game of the best-out-of-three series; and

Whereas, when the Rebels tried to return the favor in the second game on Wednesday, they served up a nail-biting 3-2 victory over the Gamecocks, making the third game a do-or-die match for both teams; and

Whereas, Gamecock southpaw Jordan Montgomery toed the rubber with steely confidence for the third game of the series and pitched another complete-game shutout 2-0, his second of the series, striking out ten batters and giving up only five hits; and

Whereas, in securing his second state title as the Gamecock head coach, Brooks Shumake and his skilled coaching staff used their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team through relentless practices and demanding drills; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires skill, strength, and strategy, the Gamecocks finished their season with a 24-6 record, having won all but one postseason game, and learned lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life both on and off the diamond; and

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is grateful for the pride and recognition that the members of the Sumter High School baseball team have brought to their school and to their community through this accomplishment and looks to hear of their success in the future. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Sumter High School baseball team for an outstanding season, and congratulate the team and coaches for winning the 2011 Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Wilson Rutledge Dingle and Coach Brooks Shumake.
