A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE POWDERSVILLE 
HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM ON AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THE 
PATRIOTS' CAPTURE OF THE 2024-2025 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, on Friday, May 23, 2025, at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, a 
determined Powdersville High School boys soccer team clinched the 2024-2025 
Class AAA State Championship title with a 1-0 victory, pushing past Oceanside 
Collegiate Academy to make school history after junior Ethan Piel scored the 
match's one and only goal; and

Whereas, when the team raised the state championship trophy, it was 
the first time ever in soccer for Powdersville, as well as the team's first 
appearance at the state finals, and it was sweet. Prior to this triumph, the 
Patriots had made it to Upper State three times, only to come up just short 
each of those times; and

Whereas, Powdersville's Coach Jeremy McCall led his athletes to the 
top of the mountain at the championship competition and found the view worth 
the climb. Under Coach McCall, the Patriots set their goal to go 1-0 in each 
post-season playoff match until fulfilling that goal with the 1-0 state win. It 
all added up to a finish of 23-3 overall for the season, a great run; and

Whereas, the icing on the cake: Brody Pike was named both an All-State 
and All-Region Player of the Year for the second consecutive year; Didier 
Pineda and Jud Scrivner also were tapped for All-State; and Cooper McCall, 
Didier Pineda, Jed Turner, and Jud Scrivner took away All-Region honors; and

Whereas, proud of these fine student athletes, the South Carolina 
House of Representatives appreciates the recognition the Powdersville High boys 
soccer players have brought to their school and community, and the members look 
to hear of many more victories for the school in coming seasons. Go, Patriots! Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House 
of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Powdersville 
High School boys soccer team on an impressive season and celebrate the 
Patriots' capture of the 2024-2025 Class AAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Dr. Adam Lanford, principal, and Coach Jeremy McCall of Powdersville High 
School.
