House Resolution 47
(As Adopted by House)
A RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE 2020-2021 MADISON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER TEAM AND HEAD COACH CECIL HINDS UPON WINNING THE MISSISSIPPI HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATION CLASS 6A GIRLS SOCCER NORTH STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
WHEREAS, the Madison Central High School Jaguars Girls Soccer Team continues to amass trophies as they defeated the Clinton High School Arrows Girls Soccer Team 2-0 at Arrow Field at Clinton High School in Clinton, Mississippi, to emerge as the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 6A Girls Soccer North State Championship title holders; and
WHEREAS, in becoming the 2020-2021 MHSAA Class 6A Girls Soccer North State Champions, the Lady Jaguars overcame the numerous COVID-19 obstacles and invested countless measures of hard work above and beyond the efforts of other teams, and finished their season with an extremely impressive record of 11 wins, two losses and one tie; and
WHEREAS, the North State championship victory would not have been possible without the robust, energetic and driven Jaguars defense and goalkeeper Kellen Fairburn, who blocked four shots on the goal in the first half and several other big saves throughout the game; and
WHEREAS, the excellent Jaguars' performance continued throughout the North State championship match to permanently dull the Arrows, as Madison Central came out rejuvenated after half time, making the most of their possessions, and scored the first goal of the game after a Clinton yellow card allowed Olivia Tribolet, who had been staying after practice to work on her penalty kicks, to send the ball arching through the air and over the outstretched hands of the Clinton goal keeper, and freshman Akala Jacobs scored the second goal in the last minutes of the game, sealing the championship for the Jaguars; and
WHEREAS, striving to win with unparalleled motivation and ardent determination, the Lady Jaguars played their best game of the season during the North State championship match, as their mental stamina and athletic prowess never wavered from the moment they exited the locker room until the final buzzer signaled victory and they raised their well-deserved championship trophy under the stadium's twinkling lights as nightfall engulfed Mississippi; and
WHEREAS, the 2020-2021 Lady Jaguars Team statistics were impressive, but the key to this team's consistent success has been the constant atmosphere and year-round hard work by the following talented and distinguished players: Kellen Fairburn, Nia Jones, Anna Wheatley, Catherine Lowry, Olivia Tribolet, Maggie Johnson, Mary Boyd Parker, Casey Carmichael, Lorilee Taylor, Akala Jacobs, Anna Christian Farmer, Sofia Monico, Sydney Wilson, Carolyn Ann Callum, Elizabeth Delaney, Alise Shoemake, Cate Bourn, Gabriella Cedeno, Sara Powell Taylor, Olivia Davidson, Alana Dear-Delamora, Laura Dale, Emma Sutterfield, Christina Barefoot, Mary Jackson Brown, Morgan Walberg, Avarie Cheeks, Lilian Herd, Lauren Rushton, Lauren Baylor, Millie Gallarno, Ava Dear, Lila Ledford and Victoria Klauser; and
WHEREAS, the Lady Jaguars have been superbly coached and inspired by Head Coach Cecil Hinds, who has broadened the team's knowledge of the game and refined their skills in execution; and
WHEREAS, in their tireless dedication, the Lady Jaguars have developed a winning, cooperative spirit and a high degree of sportsmanship, and their activities and attitudes reflect great credit upon the individual players and their coaches, bringing honor to Madison Central High School; 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 Madison Central High School Girls Soccer Team, whose excellence on the field and in the classroom bring honor to their school, their community and the State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the 2020-2021 Madison Central High School Girls Soccer Team and Head Coach Cecil Hinds upon winning the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 6A Girls Soccer North State Championship and extend best wishes to the team and coaches for continued success in all of their future athletic and academic endeavors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be furnished to Head Coach Cecil Hinds, Madison Central High School Athletic Director Anthony Hart, Madison Central High School Head Principal Sean Brewer, Superintendent Charlotte Seals, the Madison County School Board and to the members of the Capitol Press Corps.
