A RESOLUTION to honor and congratulate the Gordonsville High School softball team upon winning the 2023
TSSAA Division I, Class A State Championship.
WHEREAS, it is fitting that the members of this General Assembly should salute those student athletes who, through their extraordinary efforts, have distinguished themselves as true champions of whom we can all be proud; and WHEREAS, proving themselves to be the fiercest of competitors and, as such,
deserving of the highest regard, the Gordonsville High School softball team captured the 2023
Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) Division I, Class A State Championship; and WHEREAS, the crowning championship victory is only the second in Gordonsville High School history, the first having been claimed in 2014, and came at the end of a banner season in which the Tigerettes had an overall record of 35-5; and WHEREAS, scoring five runs in the fifth inning to grab a 5-0 lead over defending state champions Eagleville High School, Gordonsville ended the title match up with a 5-2 win after star pitcher Kailey Plumlee struck out a batter with the bases loaded; and WHEREAS, the members of the Gordonsville High School softball team epitomize all that is good in today's student athletes, as they have achieved a premier level of success in
competition while exhibiting the highest degree of character in all aspects of life; and WHEREAS, the perseverance, determination, work ethic, and talent of these young women not only made possible a championship season but also surely bode well for their future success; and HJR0676
