A SENATE RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE THE NORTH MYRTLE BEACH HIGH SCHOOL MOCK TRIAL
TEAM UPON PLACING SECOND IN THE NATIONAL MOCK TRIAL
COMPETITION.
Whereas, the North Myrtle Beach High School’s Mock Trial Team
was first runner up in the National Mock Trial Competition, which
was held May 11 in Madison, Wisconsin; and
Whereas, fiftyfour teams competed in this year’s South Carolina
Bar High School Mock Trial regional competitions; twelve teams
advanced to the state competition in March. North Myrtle Beach High
School won the 2014 State Mock Trial Championship and advanced to
the National High School Mock Trial Championship competition;
and
Whereas, on May 11, after competing in four rounds of
competition, North Myrtle Beach High School advanced to the final
round. They were named first runner up after the completion of the
round; and
Whereas, the team who competed in the National Mock Trial
Competition includes: seniors, Shannon Cherney, Ariyana Gore, Lukas
Gschwandter, Taylor Moon, and Bailey Phillips; and juniors, Madison
Genevro, Alexis Jones, Brandon Lynch, and Kacey Markarian. The team
was led by BJ DeCerbo and Amy Howe and attorneys Joshua D. Holford
and Martin D. Spratlin also assisted the team; and
Whereas, students presented the plaintiff and defendant sides of
a fictitious case before a panel of local volunteer judges and
lawyers and also filled the roles of defendant, witness, bailiff,
and timekeeper. Each team was judged on its presentation skills,
rather than the legal merit of their case; and
Whereas, the team’s victory indicates the high level of
knowledge and skill possessed by the members and is an outstanding
accomplishment highly deserving of recognition. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, congratulate
the North Myrtle Beach High School Mock Trial Team upon placing
second in the National Mock Trial Competition.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the North Myrtle Beach High School Mock Trial
Team.
