House Joint Resolution 204, sponsored by Representative Keisling, honors Myles Lacy of Celina for his remarkable achievement in winning the boys' championship at the National Marbles Tournament held in Wildwood, New Jersey. At just a young age, Myles became the youngest boy to ever win this prestigious title, showcasing his exceptional skills by dominating the final series with an impressive 8-3 victory. His accomplishment not only marks him as the fourth winner from Clay County and the seventh from the Tennessee-Kentucky region since the tournament's inception in 1922, but also highlights his dedication and resilience as he improved with each attempt over three years.

The resolution further acknowledges Myles's connection to a marble legacy, as his late grandfather was a notable champion in the sport. It celebrates his outstanding gameplay, the support of his coach Brian Cherry, and the recognition he received upon returning home, including a $2,000 scholarship and a celebratory escort by local police. The General Assembly expresses its pride in Myles's success, which brings honor to the State of Tennessee, and extends best wishes for his future endeavors.
