A house RESOLUTION

To recognize and honor the a.c. flora high school 
girls tennis team, coaches, and school officals for a remarkable season and to 
congratulate them on winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League AAAA 
State Championship Title.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to hear that the members of the A.C. 
Flora girls tennis team captured the 2025 South Carolina High School League 
AAAA State Championship title on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at the Cayce 
Tennis Center; and

Whereas, this championship win 
comes as the perfect ending to a spectacular undefeated season. The Lady 
Falcons also claimed the 2025 Belton Hall of Fame Classic title in September; 
and 

Whereas, to the delight 
of their faithful fans, the A.C. Flora Lady Falcons had an impressive victory 
over the Lower State Champion, the Gray Collegiate Academy War Eagles, in a 
close tournament that ended 4-3; and

Whereas, this 
championship was the closest tournament that the Lady Falcons have played this 
season, being down by one to the War Eagles after the singles matches, they had 
to fight hard for the win in the doubles matches, closing out the championship 
with an intense match played by twin sisters, Emily and Catherine Smith, ending 
in a 6-3 win, securing the championship title for the Lady Falcons. This win is 
the first title for the A.C. Flora girls tennis team since 2018 and the second under 
Coach Martin; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that requires strength and speed acquired through rigorous training, Head Coach 
Amy Martin and her talented staff utilized their own athletic skills and dedication 
to the sport to mold a championship caliber team. The lessons that they have 
taught these young athletes will last throughout their lives and beyond the 
courts; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and 
recognition that the A.C. Flora High School girls tennis team have brought to 
their school and community, and look forward to following their continued 
successes 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 A.C. Flora High School girls tennis 
team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate 
them on winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League AAAA State 
Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to A.C. Flora Principal Susan 
Childs and Head Coach Amy Martin.
