A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE GRAY COLLEGIATE ACADEMY SOFTBALL 
TEAM ON ITS STELLAR SEASON AND TO SALUTE ITS MEMBERS FOR CAPTURING THE 2025 
SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, out to win 
gold, the Gray Collegiate Academy softball team played with great determination 
and spirit and landed the 2025 Class AAAA State Championship title on Saturday, 
May 31, 2025; and

Whereas, Gray 
Collegiate softball fans were confident their team could handle the jump from 
Class 2A to 4A this season; and

Whereas, Coach Doug 
Frye's softball players backed that up by defeating York 5-2 in the deciding 
game of the best-of-three Class AAAA softball championship series. It was the 
Lady War Eagles' third softball state title in the last four years and the 
first at the Class AAAA level; and

Whereas, this title 
carried extra meaning for the Lady War Eagles because some people had said the 
formerly 2A Gray Collegiate couldn't play in 4A. But the Lady War Eagles knew 
better; they knew they were a good team and could do the job, and they proved it 
while a proud Coach Frye looked on; and

Whereas, the War Eagles 
(32-3) had to come from behind to win the title after dropping the series 
opener 2-1. They defeated York in the second game 4-0 and then clinched the 
title Saturday; and

Whereas, the journey to 
winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork, 
qualities that always will serve these young women well, both on and off the 
field. With admiration, the House recognizes and applauds the fine work of the 
Gray Collegiate Academy softball team and wishes its members much continued 
success in all their future endeavors. Go, Lady War Eagles! 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 Gray Collegiate Academy softball team on 
its stellar season and salute its members for capturing the 2025 South Carolina 
High School League Class AAAA State Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Brian Newsome and 
Coach Doug Frye of Gray Collegiate Academy.
