A concurrent RESOLUTION

To congratulate the t.l. hanna boys 
golf team and coaches on their impressive win of the 2024-2025 south carolina 
high school league aaaaa division II state championship title and applaud them 
on a fantastic season.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly were 
pleased to hear that on May 20, 2025, at the Cliffs Mountain Course in 
Greenville, the T.L. Hanna boys golf team won their third consecutive state championship 
title. The Yellow Jackets were favored going into the match, but they were up 
against stiff competition. The T.L. Hanna golfers knew that they had to work 
hard and concentrate to defend their state title; and

Whereas, the Yellow Jackets had an impressive performance at the 
two-day state match on May 19th and 20th, leading throughout the match. They 
were closely trailed by second place finisher Greenville High School up until 
the end. T.L. Hanna bested Greenville by one shot on the final day, finishing 
with a score of 570. Greenville came up short and tied for second place with 
Riverside; and

Whereas, T.L. Hanna's Eric Erlenkeuser also took home the individual 
state title. After an impressive performance throughout both rounds, at the end 
of regulation he was tied for the first-place spot with three other golfers. 
After competing in a fierce playoff to determine the winner, Erlenkeuser was 
able to capture the individual medal for the 2024-2025 AAAAA Division II State 
Championship; and

Whereas, in a sport that requires precision, concentration, and 
mental strength, Head Coach Eric Bona and his dedicated staff utilized their 
own experiences and passion for the sport to craft a championship-caliber team. 
The discipline and life lessons that he and his staff have taught their team 
will continue to shape them into well-rounded student athletes on and off the 
course; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly value the 
pride and recognition that the T.L. Hanna boys golf team has brought to their 
school and community. The members look forward to hearing about the future 
accomplishments of these young athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this 
resolution, congratulate the T. L. Hanna boys golf team and coaches on their 
impressive win of the 2024-2025 South Carolina High School League AAAAA 
Division II State Championship title and applaud them on a fantastic season.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
T.L. Hanna Principal Walter Mayfield and Head Coach Eric Bona.
