Bill > HJR0204

This resolution honors Myles Lacy, a young marble player from Celina, Tennessee, who won the boys' championship at the National Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, New Jersey. The resolution highlights that Lacy is the youngest boy to ever win the title, defeating his opponents 8-3 in the final fifteen-game series and becoming the fourth Clay County and seventh Tennessee-Kentucky region winner since the competition's inception in 1922. The document celebrates Lacy's achievement on his third tournament attempt, noting his impressive marble playing skills, including outstanding "plunking" and accurate "bombsies," and recognizes his family marble legacy, with his late grandfather William "Shorty" Denton having been a notable national champion. The resolution also acknowledges Lacy's various post-tournament recognitions, including a $2,000 scholarship, a trophy, and media attention, and credits his coach Brian Cherry for guiding his success. Ultimately, the resolution formally commends Lacy for bringing honor to the State of Tennessee through his remarkable performance and extends best wishes for his future endeavors.
