TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE TIMBERLAND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM ON ITS IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2011 CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, AND TO HONOR THE PLAYERS, COACH, AND STAFF ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON.
Whereas, fully prepared for the challenge, the Timberland High School girls basketball team crowned a superlative season by capturing the 2011 Class AA State Championship title, defeating Keenan 55-48 at Columbia's Colonial Life Arena on Saturday, March 5, 2011; and
Whereas, excitement over this title win was especially intense because it marked the first state basketball championship for Timberland's Lady Wolves since 2005; and
Whereas, in a demonstration of the Lady Wolves' top-notch strength, agility, and skill, as well as finely honed team effort and good sportsmanship, the team powerhoused its way back to the top after a six-year hiatus to grab its second state title; and
Whereas, using these talents and attributes, the Lady Wolves, under the capable leadership of Coach Cleve Touchberry, showed fans and foes alike what a championship team looks like; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the young women of the Timberland High School girls basketball team for leading with excellence both in the classroom and on the hardwood and expects to hear of continued great achievements in the years ahead. 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 commend the Timberland High School girls basketball team on its impressive win of the 2011 Class AA State Championship title, and honor the players, coach, and staff on an outstanding season.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Kerry Daugherty and Coach Cleve Touchberry of Timberland High School.
