A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE WEST-OAK HIGH SCHOOL BOYS 
WRESTLING TEAM ON ITS IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2026 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
TITLE AND TO SALUTE THE TEAM ON A SUPERB SEASON.

Whereas, the air on 
your face and the ground under your feet feel different when you reach the top 
of the mountain. The West-Oak Warriors found that out afresh on February 11, 
2026, when they trounced Hanahan 54-15 to claim the 2026 Class AAA Boys State 
Championship; and

Whereas, it was the 
Warriors' fifth consecutive state championship and the tenth state title for 
the boys wrestling program overall; and

Whereas, the scene of 
this well-earned triumph was Lexington High School, used by the Warriors to 
demonstrate clearly why West-Oak was able to clinch its reputation as a 
dominant force in South Carolina Class AAA wrestling and establish a modern 
wrestling dynasty in the Palmetto State. With its newly minted title win, West-Oak 
finished the season 33-1; and

Whereas, moreover, 
Coach Derek Strobel has coached his team for five seasons now and has maintained 
a title-winning streak in all five of those seasons. On February 11, he proudly 
watched his champion grapplers raise their new hardware in commemoration of 
their latest state win; and

Whereas, to add further 
delight to a marvelous season, on the final day of the Class AAA individual 
state tournament at the Florence Center, the Warriors, who had thirteen 
wrestlers qualify for the two-day event, saw four individual state champions 
crowned, while four more earned All-State honors by virtue of their top-four 
finishes; and

Whereas, the members of 
the West-Oak boys wrestling team have given their school and community reason 
to be proud of their accomplishments, and the House takes great pleasure in 
adding its collective voice to the encomiums flowing into this outstanding group 
of young athletes. Go, Warriors! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, congratulate the West-Oak High School boys wrestling team 
on its impressive win of the 2026 Class AAA State Championship title and salute 
the team on a superb season.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Brandon Blackwell and 
Coach Derek Strobel of West-Oak High School.
