Whereas, in a demonstration of the Lady Swamp Foxes’ topnotch 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 fiftyfouryear hiatus; and

Whereas, using these talents and attributes, the Lady Swamp Foxes, under the capable leadership of Coach Leon Sturkey, showed fans and foes alike that this victory was no accident; and

Whereas, the House of Representativestakes great pleasure in recognizing the young women of the Marion 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 recognize and commend the Marion High School “Lady Swamp Foxes” basketball team on its impressive win of the 2009 Class AA State Championship title, and honor the players, coach, and staff on an outstanding season.
