HONORING DREW HEDGECOE ON HIS THIRD CONSECUTIVE NCHSAA 3A CHAMPIONSHIP 
                           IN SINGLES TENNIS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2024

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Drew Hedgecoe of Terry Sanford High School on winning his third 
consecutive NCHSAA 3A state championship in singles tennis.
  On May 11, 2024, Drew defeated South Central freshman Shaw Akula 6-2, 
6-3 to clinch the title. Due to his hard work and dedication, Drew is 
breaking records on the tennis court and could soon become the second 
tennis player in NCHSAA history to win four straight singles 
championships. Drew has made his school, and all of Cumberland County, 
extremely proud.
  I wish Drew all the best and hope to see him make history on the 
court and bring home another state championship next season.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in congratulating Drew Hedgecoe on 
winning his third consecutive NCHSAA 3A State Championship in singles 
tennis.

                          ____________________
