MADAM PRESIDENT:
I offer the following resolution and move its adoption:
A SENATE RESOLUTION congratulating Ta'Shia Phillips
on being named Indiana Miss Basketball for 2007.
Whereas, Ta'Shia Phillips' basketball experience began
at age nine when her mother handed her a pair of shorts and
sent her out on the court to play. Although she was the
shortest player on her first Amateur Athletic Union team and
showed little enthusiasm for the game initially, Ta'Shia grew
to love the game and quickly developed into an outstanding
player with a natural leadership ability;
Whereas, during her senior season, the six-foot-six center
averaged 21.6 points, 15.0 rebounds and 3.2 blocks. She led
the Brebeuf Jesuit Braves to the IHSAA Class 3A State
Championship, scoring 59 of her team's 106 points in Semi-
State and State Final competition;
Whereas, receiving 72 of the 151 votes cast by high
school basketball coaches and members of the media,
Ta'Shia Phillips was named Indiana's 2007 Miss Basketball;
Whereas, Ta'Shia Phillips is undecided as to where she
will attend college, but her dedication to excellence both in
the classroom and on the basketball court will undoubtedly
make her an outstanding student athlete wherever she
decides to attend: Therefore,
SECTION 1.
That the Indiana State Senate honors Ta'Shia Phillips
on being named Indiana Miss Basketball for 2007.
SECTION 2. The Secretary of the Senate is hereby directed to
transmit a copy of this Resolution to President Matthew Hayes, Head
Coach Kendall Kreinhagen, and Ta'Shia Phillips and her family
.
