A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Rock Hill High School 
girls wrestling TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON 
AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR 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 Rock 
Hill girls wrestling team of York County captured the state title at the first 
state meet for girls wrestling by the South Carolina High School League held at 
Dreher High School in Columbia on Saturday, February 8, 2025; and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their exuberant fans, the Rock Hill Lady Bearcats defeated a fine, 
competitive Greenwood High School, 46-36, to win the first-ever girls wrestling 
state duals championship; and

Whereas, Head Coach 
Cain Beard started the girls wrestling program in the 2019-2020 school year 
with six athletes, and the roster has steadily grown for five years to sixteen 
in this championship season. With some students coming from the middle schools, 
the future of the program is promising; and

Whereas, Lady Bearcat 
Maggie Cogar won her match at 130 pounds; teammate Braylon Adams won at 135, 
Alyciah Thomas at 145, Riley Faris at 170, Brismar Velazquez at 190, Kamyla 
Torres at 100, Sirenity Davis at 105, and Jenger Rhodes at 120; and

Whereas, Rock Hill had 
singles champions before, but the state meet was very different: from the 
team's best grapplers to the least experienced, all of the girls were able to 
feel what it is like to be the very best wrestling team in their State, a 
feeling that will stay with them for the rest of their lives; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands mental fortitude and individual excellence, strategy and strength, 
Coach Beard and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic experience 
and training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes 
lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the mats; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the Rock 
Hill wrestlers 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 Rock Hill High School girls wrestling team, coaches, and school 
officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 
South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Principal Ozzie Ahl and Coach Cain Beard.
