Tasha Humphrey; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,

first-team All-SEC selections and the top-scoring freshman in the nation,
ranking 22nd overall; and
WHEREAS,
she ranked 14th nationally in field goal percentage, reaching double-figures in
28 of 30 games, including 15 with 20 or more points and two with more than 30,
and scored 33 points against LSU in the semifinals to earn a spot on the All-SEC
Tournament team; and
WHEREAS,
she is only the second freshman to be named SEC Player of the Week following her

Player of the Week three times in the same season, and the first freshman in SEC
history to be named SEC Player of the Week twice in the same month;
and
WHEREAS,
she took all of 7:34 to reach double digits in the season opener against Furman,
finishing with 25 points, the third-best career-opener in Lady Bulldog history,
poured in 27 points–including 24 in the second half–to lead Georgia
over number two Texas, and scored 14 points at Marist after suffering a one-inch
gash under her chin late in the first half; and
WHEREAS,
she dominated in the SEC opener, scoring nine points and grabbing five boards in
the first 6:10, and recorded unparalleled double-doubles in the first six SEC
games; and
WHEREAS,
she accomplished all of the aforementioned despite facing double- and
triple-teams almost constantly throughout the season.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
