WHEREAS, the Colonels have been superbly coached and inspired by Head Coach, Dr. Brad Carr, and Assistant Coach Richard Carr who have broadened the Colonels' knowledge of the game and refined their skills in execution; and
WHEREAS, Coach Carr continues to build upon the legacy of superior play and true sportsmanship forged by the tenacious and undaunted spirit of each team member, as evidenced in their ability to produce high caliber players and plays and the team's successful season; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the House of Representatives to recognize and commend the superb accomplishments of Mississippi student-athletes, especially those such as the Copiah Academy High School Colonels Boys Soccer Team, whose excellence on the field and in the classroom bring honor to their school, their community and the State of Mississippi:
