ecstatic by night's end; and

displayed passion and perseverance throughout the season and proved they are a 
championship-caliber team capable of competing against the very best opponents 
South Carolina has to offer; and

Whereas, the 2024-2025 
Carolina Forest High School wrestling team will forever be known as state 
champions, and soon a banner commemorating their accomplishments will hang in 
the school's gym for visitors to appreciate for years to come; and

Whereas, these young 
student-athletes have given their school and community much to be proud of, and 
the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in adding their 
collective voice to honor this outstanding group of young athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House
