Congratulate Pearl River Community College (PRCC) Cheer Team for third National Championship in four years.
Summary
Senate Resolution 86 is a ceremonial measure that commends and congratulates the Pearl River Community College (PRCC) Lady Wildcats cheer team and Head Coach Sarah Smith for winning their third UCA National Championship in four years. The resolution highlights the team’s 2025 All-Girl Game Day Championship, its second-place finish in the All-Girl Traditional Championship, and the program’s recent run of success, including back-to-back national titles in 2022 and 2023.
The resolution also formally recognizes the student-athletes by name, praises their dedication and sacrifices, and notes the honor they brought to PRCC, their community, and the State of Mississippi. It directs that copies of the resolution be presented to Coach Smith, forwarded to PRCC leadership, and made available to the Capitol Press Corps.
Impact
SR86 does not change Mississippi law, create new duties, or appropriate funds. Its effect is purely honorary and symbolic, using the Senate’s formal recognition to celebrate a state community college athletic program and to place the achievement into the official legislative record.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is overwhelmingly positive and celebratory. The Senate adopted it unanimously by a 51-0 vote, indicating broad support and no recorded opposition. The language of the resolution emphasizes pride, accomplishment, and appreciation for the team’s work and representation of Mississippi.
Contention
There is no notable policy contention in the bill itself because it is a congratulatory resolution rather than substantive legislation. The only substantive discussion reflected in the text is praise for the team’s commitment, including the time and sacrifice required for practice and competition, but no disagreement or competing viewpoints are recorded in the available materials.
