A house RESOLUTION



To congratulate the Laurence Manning Academy COED Bowling team and coaches on winning the 2024 South Carolina Independent School Association State Championship title and to applaud the Team on its outstanding season.



Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the Laurence Manning Academy coed bowling team won the 2024 South Carolina Independent School Association State Championship title on February 5, 2024, at Royal Z Lanes in Columbia; and



Whereas, across the three games played, the Laurence Manning Academy Swampcats knocked over enough pins to secure 566 points. They scored 194 points in the first game, 202 in the second, and 170 in the third. The team’s finesse and masterfully executed armswings gave them a staggering 120‑point lead over the second place finisher, Porter‑Gaud, which finished with 446 points; and



Whereas, the six‑person coed team is made up of two girls, Sydnie Vohs and Charlotte Baker, and four boys: Colby Hasty, Caleb Baker, Jason Skinner, and Nathan Stewart. In Coach Atkins’ mind, the team’s dominance was due in large part to the fact that each member takes bowling very seriously and brings to the table talent and years of experience. Coach Atkins was assisted in his duties by Brad Vohs and Amy Vohs in mentoring and coaching these student‑athletes; and



Whereas, adding to the sweetness of victory, this win was the school’s tenth state championship under Head Coach Jay Atkins’ guidance. Three of the state championship wins belong to the coed team, and the other seven wins belong to the boys team. Reflecting on the continued success of his teams, Coach Atkins said, “It hasn’t been a case of us being lucky. We’ve had a lot of skill on those teams.”; and



Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the Laurence Manning Academy coed bowling team has brought to their school and the members look forward to learning about the future accomplishments of these young athletes. Now, therefore,



Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:



That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Laurence Manning Academy coed bowling team and coaches on winning the 2024 South Carolina Independent School Association State Championship title and applaud the team on its outstanding season.



Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Tripp Boykin and Head Coach Jay Atkins.
