A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE STRATFORD HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACH RAY STACKLEY THIS SEASON AND ALSO THOMAS "MOE" THOMPSON, WHO WAS NAMED MR. FOOTBALL OF SOUTH CAROLINA FOR 2001, AND TO PROCLAIM JANUARY 27, 2002, AS "MOE THOMPSON, MR. FOOTBALL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COACH RAY STACKLEY, AND THE KNIGHTS OF STRATFORD HIGH SCHOOL DAY" IN BERKELEY COUNTY.

Whereas, Thomas "Moe" Thompson, because of his outstanding accomplishments as a student-athlete, both on and off the field, was named Mr. Football of South Carolina for 2001; the award is presented to one player in the State each year who combines success in athletics, academics, and community service; and

Whereas, Moe Thompson became the first lower state player to win the Mr. Football award since its inception in 1995. As a result of his remarkable talent on the gridiron, his efforts in the classroom, and his work with the Charleston's Promise organization. Moe, who is one of four brothers, attributes his success to the love and encouragement of his mother, Patricia, and the guidance of his head coach, Ray Stackley; and

Whereas, Moe Thompson completed his senior season of football at Stratford High School recording seventy tackles as a defensive lineman and as a tight end caught forty-one passes for seven hundred six yards and ten touchdowns. Moe was also selected to play in the prestigious Shrine Bowl, the annual game that brings together the best football talent in North and South Carolina; and

Whereas, Stratford High School, located in Berkeley County, became the first lower state high school football team to win three undefeated region championships, having won its region in 1999, 2000, and 2001; and Stratford had seven of its "Knights" named to the Region 7-AAAA All-Star Team, including seniors Moe Thompson, Roy Ravenell, Dwayne Lynah, Brett Bowdren, and Keith Taylor, and juniors Donnell Covington and Rodney Kinlaw; and

Whereas, Head Coach Ray Stackley has built a football powerhouse at Stratford by instilling the values of hard work and discipline in his players, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed as Coach Stackley was named the Region 7-AAAA Coach of the Year by the Charleston Post and Courier; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly are proud to recognize the tremendous accomplishments of the Palmetto State's Mr. Football, Moe Thompson, Head Coach Ray Stackley, and the entire Stratford Knights football team. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, hereby recognize the accomplishments of the Stratford High School Football Team and Coach Ray Stackley this season, and also Thomas "Moe" Thompson, who was named Mr. Football of South Carolina for 2001, and to proclaim January 27, 2002, as "Moe Thompson, Mr. Football of South Carolina, Coach Ray Stackley, and the Knights of Stratford High School Day" in Berkeley County.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Thomas "Moe" Thompson, Coach Ray Stackley, and the Stratford High School Football Team of Berkeley County.
