A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO CELEBRATE THE A.C. FLORA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TENNIS TEAM FOR NETTING THE 2015 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO HONOR THE PLAYERS ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON.
Whereas, with three tie-breaker set wins on the number 3 and number 4 courts, the A.C. Flora High School boys tennis team handed Hilton Head a 4-2 defeat to claim the 2015 Class AAA State Championship title on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at the Cayce Tennis and Fitness Center; and
Whereas, incontestably proving their mettle before friends and opponents alike, Flora (15-5) swept the number 3 through number 5 singles and number 2 doubles matches for the win, propelled to victory by their excellence in depth; and
Whereas, Hilton Head claimed the first points with straight-set wins on the number 1 and number 2 singles courts, but the Falcons would not be held down. Zachary Prince dominated at number 5 singles, covering the whole court to claim a 6-2, 6-1 win. On the number 2 doubles court, Richard Kneece (Flora's team captain) and Cortney Reed defeated their Hilton Head opponents 6-0, 6-1; and
Whereas, using her own finely honed skills and experience, Coach Amy Martin instilled in her athletes a standard of excellence that drove them from within to do their very best; and
Whereas, appreciative of the great pride and recognition these athletes have brought to their school and community, the House of Representatives congratulates the Falcons on their title win, and the members look with interest toward hearing of their further exploits as tennis champions. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the A.C. Flora High School boys tennis team for netting the 2015 Class AAA State Championship title and honor the players on a superlative season.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Richard K. McClure and Coach Amy Martin of A.C. Flora High School.
