Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Legion Collegiate Academy baseball team of York County captured the state title at a series held in Lancaster on Tuesday, June 8, 2021; and

Whereas, to the delight of their exuberant fans, the Legion Collegiate Lancers defeated a fine, competitive Andrew Jackson High School team by a score of 10-7 in the championship clinching game to win the school's first baseball state championship; and

Whereas, the Lancers stepped up to the plate and handily took the Region 4 championship with a 13-1 victory and then won the Upper State in two games of the best of three; and

Whereas, this season was the first year of competition for Legion Collegiate in the South Carolina High School League as a member institution playing a full schedule; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires strength, strategy, and quickness, Coaches Devon Lowery, Ross Gload, Rashad Cunningham, A.J. Wright, Jalin Benjamin, Jake Hylinksi, and Andre Gause maximized their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the diamond; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Legion Collegiate baseball players have brought to their school and their community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
