3/28/2019

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR FLETCHER MAGEE FOR HIS OUTSTANDING COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL CAREER WITH WOFFORD COLLEGE AND TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON SETTING THE NCAA DIVISION I RECORD FOR CAREER THREE-POINT FIELD GOALS.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is proud to recognize Fletcher Magee for his outstanding career as a guard for Wofford College and for setting the NCAA Division I Record for career three-point field goals on Thursday, March 21, 2019 in the NCAA tournament game against Seton Hall; and

Whereas, a native of Orlando, Florida, Fletcher Magee was born on November 13, 1996 to Jerry and Arden Magee; and

Whereas, in his freshman year as a guard for Wofford College, Magee made his way into the starting lineup ten games into the season and never looked back. During that first year, he and his teammates raised Wofford's three-point field goal attempts by eleven percent. Over the past four years, they have raised the average by thirty-two percent; and

Whereas, each year, Magee has consistently maintained an impressive scoring average and three-point percentage. In 2018, he scored his two thousandth career point in a win over Coastal Carolina University; and

Whereas, this year, Magee helped Wofford clinch the Southern Conference's automatic bid into the 2019 NCAA Tournament; and

Whereas, in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, Magee broke the NCAA record for career three-point field goals, passing Oakland's Travis Bader for the most in Division I men's basketball history with five hundred nine three-pointers; and

Whereas, throughout his collegiate basketball career, Magee has received a number of honors and awards, including Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, Southern Conference Player of the Year in multiple years, and many others; and

Whereas, Magee has made a significant impact on Wofford's basketball program. Even just in his preparation and work ethic, he has set an example that has inspired his teammates to work even harder; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that Fletcher Magee has brought to his school and the State of South Carolina and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by this talented athlete. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and honor Fletcher Magee for his outstanding collegiate basketball career with Wofford College and congratulate him on setting the NCAA Division I record for career three-point field goals.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Fletcher Magee.
