A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO SALUTE THE A.C. FLORA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM ON ITS EXCELLENT SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM'S FINE ATHLETES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2015 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, supremely ready for the challenge, the A.C. Flora High School boys soccer team captured the 2015 Class AAA State Championship title, defeating St. James 5-1 on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at River Bluff High; and
Whereas, as exultant Falcon fans looked on, their soccer players packed up the first state championship trophy ever won in the program's fifty-year history, making the win an especially sweet one; and
Whereas, Falcon supporters, in fact, were already making plans to watch their soccer team do it again at next year's title match. The win rocketed the Falcons to the end of a superb 17-3-1 season; and
Whereas, backed up by a full-team effort, Flora's Robert Weldon scored a hat trick in the second half, and the Falcons added goals from Tanner Reagle and Daniel McClam to seal the victory; and
Whereas, such victories do not come overnight; they take determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Coach Matt Berry and his assistant coaches have built their soccer program into one of championship caliber that refuses to settle for second best; and
Whereas, the journey to winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork, qualities that always will serve these young men well both on and off the soccer field. With admiration, the Senate recognizes and applauds the outstanding work of the A.C. Flora High School boys soccer team and wishes its members much continued success in all their future endeavors. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, salute the A.C. Flora High School boys soccer team on its excellent season and congratulate the team's fine athletes on their impressive win of the 2015 Class AAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Richard K. McClure and Coach Matt Berry of A.C. Flora High School.
