A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor the North 
Augusta High School boys basketball team and coaches for a remarkable season 
and to congratulate them on winning the 2026 South Carolina High School League 
AAAA State Championship.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to 
learn that the members of the North Augusta High School boys basketball team 
took home their first state title at the 2026 South Carolina High School League 
AAAA Championship game held on March 7; and

Whereas, this win marks the first state title for the North Augusta boys 
basketball team in school history. They joined the girls team to become the 
first school to win both basketball state championships in the same year since 
the Keenan Raiders won the AAA titles in the 2019-20 season; and

Whereas, the Yellow Jackets finished the year with a record of 27-3, 
winning their final 10 games in a row; and

Whereas, North Augusta started the championship game strong, ending 
the first quarter ahead 18-10. The South Pointe team, however, was not going to 
be easily beaten. With both teams hustling hard, they finished the first half 
tied 23-23. They stayed neck and neck for most of the second half, with Toian 
Nabriat getting a rebound shot to tie the game, sending them into overtime. 
Nabriat would also send the game into a second overtime after he hit one of two 
free throws to once again tie the game. The Yellow Jackets kept the lead the 
entire second overtime, besting the South Point Stallions 64-56; and 

Whereas, in a sport that demands strength and agility, Head Coach 
Tony Harrell and his talented coaching staff utilized their own skill and 
passion for the sport to mold a championship-caliber team. The lessons that 
they have taught these young athletes will continue to shape them on and off 
the court; and 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
value the pride and recognition that the North Augusta boys basketball team has 
brought to their school and community. They look forward to hearing of their 
future 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 North Augusta 
High School boys basketball team and coaches for a remarkable season and 
congratulate them on winning the 2026 South Carolina High School League AAAA 
State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
North Augusta Principal Casey Rodgers and Head Coach Tony Harrell.
