By: Senator(s) McCaughn, Barnett, Butler (38th)
Senate Concurrent Resolution 509
(As Adopted by Senate and House)
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION COMMENDING AND CONGRATULATING THE SCOTT CENTRAL "REBELS" FOOTBALL TEAM AND HEAD COACH JEFF STOCKSTILL FOR WINNING BACK-TO-BACK MHSAA CLASS 2A STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
WHEREAS, whatever the Scott Central High School "Rebels" Football Team left on the field in last season's 72-24 win in the MHSAA Class 2A State Championship Game, it picked up in this year's title clash with Charleston High School. With a 42-12 win on December 3, 2022, at M.M. Roberts Stadium, the "Rebels" finished a complete effort to back-to-back State Championships; and
WHEREAS, Scott Central's offense has been electric during its eight-game regular season winning streak. The "Rebels" averaged 41 points per game during that span. Senior Austin Goss had 2,531 passing yards, 509 rushing yards and 43 touchdowns in 13 games; and
WHEREAS, in the Championship Game, Scott Central (13-2) wasted no time getting into the end zone with quarterback Quez Goss launching a 50-yard touchdown pass to Antreyvious Edwards on the second play of the game; and
WHEREAS, after allowing a touchdown on the opening drive, Scott Central's defense locked down. Scott Central got the ball for its third possession, and Goss unleashed his unbridled talent again. This time he found Javieon Butler for a 73-yard touchdown. That was met by a 31-yard touchdown pass to Edwards on the ensuing drive. Butler and Edwards, both seniors, combined for eight catches, 264 yards and five touchdowns in the first half en route to a 35-6 lead at halftime. Charleston finished its last six first-half drives with a punt. The second half started with Scott Central intercepting a pass, then forcing a turnover on downs; and
WHEREAS, "I'm really happy for those guys," Scott Central Coach Jeff Stockstill said. "They put the work in. They showed up and did what we needed them to do. They played special teams, offense and defense"; and
WHEREAS, the "Rebels" now have four State Championships dating back to 1999; and
WHEREAS, the Scott Central High School 2022 Championship Team Roster is: Tyquan Bounds, Jermiah Hicks, Austin Goss, Kendarious Spivey, Shamon Wash, Javieon Butler, Antreyvious Edwards, Zechariah Parodi, Kobe Bobbitt, Jarvez Ficklin, Jhakyree Slack, Ethan Stockstill, Brandon Ortiz, Chancler Burks, Marquavious Bradford, Bryson Norman, Lakindric Miller, Jakoby Anderson, Tyler Jenkins, Brian Shepard, Kamron Mobbs, Romeo Patrick, Desavion Gray, Kat Stewart, Devin Cunningham, Jamari Thomas, Demetric Mitchell, Jeremy Nealy, Martavious Reed, Kaden Terry, Ahmarion Ragsdale, Lataveone Evans, Parker Mcgee, Nate Hardy, Tayshawn Shepard, Ketavion Washington, Jeremiah Lyles, Dylan Sumrall, Braylon Kincaid, Kayden Burks, Frayshun Darby, Tywuan Mcclendon, Steven Bradford and Kyon Bounds; Head Coach Jeff Stockstill and Assistant Coach Johnathon Brasfield; and
WHEREAS, it is with great pride that we recognize this group of student athletes who have brought honor to their school, their community and to the State of Mississippi:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN, That we do hereby commend and congratulate the Scott Central "Rebels" Football team and Head Coach Jeff Stockstill for winning back-to-back MHSAA Class 2A State Championships and extend the best wishes of the Legislature to the team, coaches, parents and sponsors for future success.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this resolution be presented to Coach Jeff Stockstill for the team and Scott Central Principal Clay Thrash, forwarded to the Scott County Board of Education and made available to the Capitol Press Corps.
