A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Military Magnet academy girls 
basketball TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO 
CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS a STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Military 
Magnet basketball team of Charleston County won the state title at the state 
competition held at the Florence Center on Thursday, March 6, 2025; and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their exuberant fans, the Military Magnet Lady Eagles defeated Lee Central 
High School decisively with a 59-40 win, taking the team's fourth title in only 
five years; and

Whereas, after a 
fast-paced first period, Military Magnet led 19-14, and when both teams stepped 
up their defense in the second quarter, the offenses were held down to 7-2 
scoring, giving the Lady Eagles a 26-16 advantage at the break; and

Whereas, the third 
quarter began with Military Magnet's Da'Nariyah Williams scoring off of a steal, 
and then moments later, she converted a free throw to put her team up 29-18. She 
led her teammates in the game with 18 points and 7 rebounds; and

Whereas, Lee Central Lady 
Stallions were able to cut the deficit to 29-20 halfway through the period, and 
less than two minutes later, they cut the deficit to 32-25, the closest they would 
come in the second half. The Lady Eagles went on a run for the rest of the 
period, going into the final period with a 43-27 lead; and

Whereas, the fourth quarter 
was won by Military Magnet 16-13, and the six turnovers the defense forced on 
Lee Central in the period helped preserve the win. Lady Eagle Mariah Brown 
scored all of her four points for the game in the final period; and

Whereas, senior 
starters Dream Watson, Jada Davis, and Sabri Mitchell who have been involved in 
the program for many years, helped to lead the team to victory. Adding to Da'Nariyah 
Williams stats, Dream Watson had 16 points, 6 steals, and 3 assists, making 10 
of 11 free throws. Sabri Mitchell scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds. 
Lauren Willis, Mariah Brown, and Jada Davis each contributed four points; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands speed, strength, and precision, Head Coach Nathaniel Taylor and 
his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic experience and 
training to build a championship team and teach these athletes life principles 
that will endure beyond the courts; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the satisfaction and credit that 
the Military Magnet basketball players have brought to their school and their 
community, and the members look forward to hearing of their future success in 
the days to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor the Military Magnet Academy girls basketball team, coaches, and 
school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 
2025 South Carolina Class A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Dr. Robert L. Perrineau Jr., principal, and to Coach 
Nathaniel Taylor.
