Whereas, Adam Oaks, Andrew Tillman, Josh Cowan, and Antonio Tillman, were named Upper State Champs, and Bryan Glace joined them as Individual Skyline Region Champs; and

Whereas, Bryan Glace and Josh Cowan were chosen to participate in the North/South All-Star Wrestling Match, and Coach Martin was selected to coach the North/South AllStar Wrestling Match; and

Whereas, at the State Championship match, Panthers Jonathan Patterson, Adam Oaks, and Antonio Tillman prevailed in their matches to be named individual State Champs; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate take great pleasure in commending the Loris High School Wrestling team for bringing recognition and pride to their school and to their community by capturing the Class AA State Championship. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Abbeville High School wrestling team for a successful season and congratulate the coaches, school officials, and the wrestlers for winning the 2009 Class AA State Championship title.
