A house RESOLUTION

 

TO APPLAUD THE MEMBERS OF THE PELION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM ON A SUPERB SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THESE FINE ATHLETES FOR THEIR MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE AT THE 2026 SOUTH CAROLINA NATIONAL ARCHERY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM (NASP) STATE ARCHERY TOURNAMENT.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the members of the Pelion Elementary School archery team captured the state titles in both Bullseye and IBO/3D; and

 

Whereas, the new state wins were just the latest of numerous triumphs for the famed Pelion Elementary archers, who competed for this year's Bullseye and IBO/3D crowns on March 3, 2026, at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds; and

 

Whereas, Coaches Miranda Montgomery, Annalee Clark, and Ashlyn Massey, who used their own athletic gifts and experience to build an archery team of championship caliber, looked proudly on as the Panthers received their well-won awards; and

 

Whereas, Pelion went home with three first-place champions, all of whom received a bow and a $750 scholarship. These top scorers were Kaman Kneece (first place in Bullseye for elementary males), Carter Day (first place in 3D for elementary males), and Cassidy Johns (first place in 3D for elementary females); and

 

Whereas, in addition, the Panthers swept the podium in 3D elementary males. These five Pelion winners were awarded a plaque and a place on the podium: first place, Carter Day; second place, Owen Green; third place, Kyler King; fourth place, Knox Montgomery; and fifth place, Kaman Kneece; and

 

Whereas, with much admiration, the House adds its united voice to the many encomiums flowing in to the Pelion Elementary School archery team at the earning of its latest state titles. Go, Panthers! Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, applaud the members of the Pelion Elementary School archery team on a superb season and celebrate these fine athletes for their masterful performance at the 2026 South Carolina National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) State Archery Tournament.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Francina Gerald and Coaches Miranda Montgomery, Annalee Clark, and Ashlyn Massey of Pelion Elementary School.
