AHOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BOILING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON CAPTURING THE 2013 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, fully prepared for the challenge, the Boiling Springs High School “Lady Bulldogs” softball team crowned its splendid season by capturing the 2013 Class AAAA State Championship title, defeating Summerville110on May 15, 2013; and

Whereas, the Lady Bulldogs delighted their ecstatic fans with redhot bats that allowed them to sweep the bestofthree series and claim top honors; and

Whereas, excitement over this championship win was especially intense because it made school history, marking Boiling Springs’ first softball title; and

Whereas, the run support at the championship competitionwas simply an embarrassment of riches for ace pitcher Taylor Cabe, the Harvard signee who once again mixed and matched her speeds to keep hitters totally baffled. The senior allowed two hits and two walks while striking out five; and

Whereas, on top of its form, Boiling Springs outscored the opposition 686 in winning all eight postseason contests. The lone loss for the 311 Bulldogs was March 17 against James F. Byrnes High School by 76 in extra innings; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands skill, quickness, and teamwork, Coach Sandy Martin capitalized on her own athletic ability and training to mold a championship team and teach her athletes lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life, both on and off the diamond; and

Whereas, the Boiling Springs High Schoolsoftball players have brought great pride and recognition to their school and community, and their many admirers, including the members of the House of Representatives, look to hear of their continued accomplishments. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Boiling SpringsHigh School softball team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them on capturing the 2013Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Chuck Gordon and Coach Sandy Martin of Boiling SpringsHigh School.
