A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Blythewood High School 
girls varsity basketball TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE 
SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM on WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA 
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Blythewood girls basketball team of Richland County captured the state title at 
the Class AAAAA Division 1 championship held at the Florence Center on Friday, 
March 7, 2025; and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their exuberant fans, the Blythewood Bengals defeated a competitive 
Summerville High School 62-56 to take home the state trophy. The victory marked 
the first state championship for the Blythewood girls basketball program, with 
an historic state championship run; and

Whereas, this 
achievement only three years after a winless 2022 season is quite a program 
statement for Head Coach Emily McElveen Schaeffer, her staff, and the players. 
While it was evident early on that the team had something special in the 
making, Coach Schaeffer was focused on taking things day-by-day; and

Whereas, from the 
summer workouts in June through the fall league, the team showed extraordinary 
potential, a chemistry in the way the athletes meshed and their intensity 
playing together; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands speed, precision, and strength, Coach Schaeffer and her skilled 
coaching staff maximized their own athletic experience and training to produce 
a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove 
invaluable through life both on and off the courts; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that 
these Blythewood basketball players have brought to their school and their 
community, and the members look forward to following their continued 
achievements in the days ahead. 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 Blythewood High School girls varsity basketball team, coaches, 
and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them on winning 
the 2025 South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Principal Matt Sherman and Coach Emily McElveen 
Schaeffer.
