A house RESOLUTION
To recognize and honor the a.c. flora high school
girls tennis team, coaches, and school officals for a remarkable season and to
congratulate them on winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League AAAA
State Championship Title.
Whereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to hear that the members of the A.C.
Flora girls tennis team captured the 2025 South Carolina High School League
AAAA State Championship title on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Cayce
Tennis Center; and
Whereas, this championship win
comes as the perfect ending to a spectacular undefeated season. The Lady
Falcons also claimed the 2025 Belton Hall of Fame Classic title in September;
and
Whereas, to the delight
of their faithful fans, the A.C. Flora Lady Falcons had an impressive victory
over the Lower State Champion, the Gray Collegiate Academy War Eagles, in a
close tournament that ended 4-3; and
Whereas, this
championship was the closest tournament that the Lady Falcons have played this
season, being down by one to the War Eagles after the singles matches, they had
to fight hard for the win in the doubles matches, closing out the championship
with an intense match played by twin sisters, Emily and Catherine Smith, ending
in a 6-3 win, securing the championship title for the Lady Falcons. This win is
the first title for the A.C. Flora girls tennis team since 2018 and the second under
Coach Martin; and
Whereas, in a sport
that requires strength and speed acquired through rigorous training, Head Coach
Amy Martin and her talented staff utilized their own athletic skills and dedication
to the sport to mold a championship caliber team. The lessons that they have
taught these young athletes will last throughout their lives and beyond the
courts; and
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and
recognition that the A.C. Flora High School girls tennis team have brought to
their school and community, and  look forward to following their continued
successes in the days ahead. 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 A.C. Flora High School girls tennis
team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate
them on winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League AAAA State
Championship title.
Be it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to A.C. Flora Principal Susan
Childs and Head Coach Amy Martin.
