TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BOILING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM, OF SPARTANBURG COUNTY, FOR A SUCCESSFUL SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THE PLAYERS AND COACHES FOR CAPTURING THE 2008 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the Boiling Springs High School varsity baseball team won the Class AAAA State Championship title on May 14, 2008; and
Whereas, in a 24 and 6 season, the Boiling Springs Bulldogs claimed the state title against the Conway High School Tigers with a 5 to 1 victory in the second game of the championship playoff; and
Whereas, to the sheer exhilaration of their fans and the chagrin of their foes, Boiling Springs won the first state title for any Bulldog men's varsity team in the school's history before hundreds of Boiling Springs students, many of whom had taken the more than four-hour trip in school buses to cheer for their team; and
Whereas, pitcher Cameron Holmes, a junior, pitched a complete game, allowing only four Conway hits, walking just one of their batters, and striking out nine of them, one of which was a bases-loaded strike out to end a Tiger threat at the bottom of the fifth inning; and
Whereas, seniors Jimmy Revan, pitcher, and Jeffrey Campbell, catcher, distinguished themselves throughout the season and were named to the All-Star Game; and
Whereas, in a sport that requires skill, strength, strategy, and quickness, Coach Jeff Lipscomb and Assistant Coaches Terry Hughes, Joel Goff, and Jason Cole used their own athletic ability and experience to forge a championship team and teach the players lessons that have prepared them well for life; and
Whereas, members of the South Carolina House of Representatives commend the Boiling Springs Bulldogs for garnering the 2008 Class AAAA State Championship title and wait to hear of future successes from this talented team. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Boiling Springs High School varsity baseball team, of Spartanburg County, for a successful season, and congratulate the players and coaches for capturing the 2008 Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Chuck Gordon and Coach Jeff Lipscomb.
