City Resolution Supports Goose Creek Gators

Goose Creek City Council shows support for school after disqualification.

On Tuesday, Goose Creek City Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the Goose Creek Gators. The undefeated football team had their season cut short in the playoffs when administrators learned one of the team's players had exhausted eight semesters of high school eligibility.

Coach Chuck Reedy was on hand, along with four members of the offensive line, to thank the City Council for the resolution.  

"We appreciate the support we've received from everyone in Goose Creek and around the state," Reedy said.
