A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE W. Wyman KING ACADEMY FOOTBALL TEAM AND 
COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL 
ASSOCIATION 8-MAN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, not to be 
denied the crown, the W. Wyman King Academy (WKA) football team drove past the 
Laurens Crusaders 50-36 to capture decisively the 2025 South Carolina 
Independent School Association 8-Man State Championship, held on Friday, 
November 21, 2025, at the Greenwood Christian School field; and

Whereas, the Knights, 
who nailed the state title for the second time in school history, brought the 
crown back to WKA for the first time since 2013, and they did it with style, 
finishing with their first-ever undefeated season (12-0). Moreover, in the 
title game, the Knights scored 568 points on offense and allowed only 222 
points on defense; and

Whereas, it is also 
worthy of note that the Knights, who fully bought into Coach Dennis Gibson's 
excellent weightlifting program, never trailed in a game on the scoreboard; and

Whereas, such triumphs 
do not come overnight; they take determination and hard work. With proven 
consistency in both, WKA's Head Coach Brian Kneece and Assistant Coaches Dennis 
Gibson, Scout Buzhardt, Cody Burns, Michael Kinard, and Matt Buzhardt together built 
their football program into a championship machine and saw their players finish 
at the top of the mountain; and

Whereas, the W. Wyman 
King Knights have given their school and community reason to be proud of their 
accomplishments, and the members of the House of Representatives take great 
pleasure in adding their collective voice to the many encomiums flowing in to 
this outstanding group of young athletes. Go, Knights! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor the W. Wyman King Academy football team and coaches 
on their impressive win of the 2025 South Carolina Independent School 
Association 8-Man State Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Headmaster Zach Matthews and 
Head Coach Brian Kneece of W. Wyman King Academy.
