A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Gilbert High School boys golf 
TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO 
CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA Region 4 CLASS AAAA CHAMPIONSHIP 
TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Gilbert 
High boys golf team of Lexington County won at the region championship 
tournament held at Ponderosa Country Club in Batesburg-Leesville on Thursday, May 
1, 2025; and

Whereas, to the delight 
of their exuberant fans, the Gilbert Indians snatched the victory from a fine, 
competitive field of comers in the region with a score of 310, just 2 points 
below their nearest competitor, to give the team a victory in its first year in 
class AAAA competition; and

Whereas, after being 
down in all five positions at one time, Gilbert High kept chipping and plugging 
away to capture the regional trophy. The teams were so close that the Indian 
golfers thought they might have to have a playoff with North Augusta; and

Whereas, Eli Hooker, 
playing in the number five spot was still on course. He posted his second 
lowest score ever, 77, which helped to clench the 2-stroke victory. Brady Senn 
had a superb total of 73, and Peyton Lawhorne tripled on the first hole and 
finished with a score of 77 to make the All-Region team; and 

Whereas, Finn Mortenson 
posted 83, and Coleman Hernandez followed close behind with 85, to give the 
team the winning total of 310; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that exacts strength, strategy, and versatility, Head Coach Dru Nix and his 
skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic experience and 
training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life 
principles that will endure beyond the courses; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that 
the Gilbert golfers have brought to their school and their community, and the 
members look forward to following their continued achievements 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 Gilbert High School boys golf team, coaches, and school officials 
for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 South 
Carolina Region 4 Class AAAA Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Principal David Dixon and Coach Dru Nix.
