SENATE RESOLUTION


     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 will wear the #1 jersey for the Indiana All-Stars in their annual series against the Kentucky All-Stars. She joins an elite group of Hoosier athletes to have been named Miss Basketball, including Brebeuf Alumna Vicki Hall; and

    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,

Be it resolved by the Senate of the

General Assembly of the State of Indiana:

        

    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 .
