Whereas, with relentless work in demanding practices, the Lady Dolphins have brought pride to their school and community through a winning season and through capturing the state championship title; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to acknowledge the achievements of the Hilton Head girls basketball team. Now, therefore,
