A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO APPLAUD THE 
POWDERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2025 CLASS AAA 
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO CONGRATULATE THESE ATHLETES AND THEIR COACH ON 
AN OUTSTANDING SEASON.

Whereas, on Saturday, 
November 8, 2025, the Lady Patriots of Powdersville High School triumphed over 
Oceanside Collegiate Academy to win the 2025 Class AAA volleyball championship, 
held at Dreher High School in Columbia; and

Whereas, determined to 
take home the hardware, the Lady Patriots (22-8) accordingly would not quit 
until they had seized Powdersville High's fifth state title in girls 
volleyball; and

Whereas, when the score 
was 14-10 in the fifth set, Powdersville volleyball needed one chance, one 
point, or one careless mistake from the hands of Oceanside Collegiate Academy. 
Senior outside hitter Peyton Carman went after a kill that would make the 
difference for her team - and got it. She struck the ball into the deep corner, 
and that was all the Lady Patriots needed to defeat the Lady Landsharks in five 
sets, making Powdersville back-to-back state champions; and

Whereas, Coach Brooke 
Passini, rightly proud of her team, tested her players this season, took them 
to the title match ready to play, and found that the discipline she had 
instilled into her team paid off on the court. Coach Passini's philosophy is 
simple: "Even if we're battling from behind, we never give up," she declares. 
"That's something we always work on in practice"; and

Whereas, appreciative 
of the well-deserved recognition these athletes have won for their school and 
community, the General Assembly congratulates the Lady Patriots, and the 
members look with interest toward hearing of their further successes, both on 
and off the volleyball court. 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, applaud the Powdersville 
High School girls volleyball team on capturing the 2025 Class AAA State 
Championship title and congratulate these athletes and their coach on an 
outstanding season.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Seth Young, superintendent of 
Anderson School District One, as well as to Dr. Adam Lanford, principal, and 
Coach Brooke Passini of Powdersville High School.
