A senate RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE RIDGE VIEW HIGH SCHOOL BOYS 
BASKETBALL TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2025 CLASS AAAAA DIVISION 1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
TITLE AND TO HONOR THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACHES, AND STAFF.

Whereas, fully resolved 
to take home the gold, the Ridge View High School boys basketball team crowned 
an outstanding season by netting the 2025 Class AAAAA Division 1 State 
Championship title, defeating Blythewood 71-47 on Friday, March 7, 2025; and

Whereas, with the 
biggest prize in South Carolina high school boys basketball on the line, the 
Blazers focused all their knowledge, skill, and determination, took to heart 
their coaches' exhortations, and came through like the champions they are; and

Whereas, in the first 
quarter, Ridge View (23-7) set the tone with a layup, two free throws, and a 
jumper to lead 7-0. Blythewood stormed back to take an 8-7 lead, but three free 
throws from the Blazers tied the game at 9-9. Then the Blazers buried two 3-pointers 
to put Ridge View ahead 15-9. In the fourth quarter, the Blazers outscored the 
Bengals 25-14 to set the final score; and

Whereas, having honed 
his players into a championship machine, Head Coach Joshua Staley, along with 
Assistant Coaches Brian Sanders, David Smith, Chris Leevy, Reginald Murray, 
Kenneth Hunter, and Christian Savage, saw the fruit of long and dedicated labor 
as the title trophy was hoisted. These gifted coaches were particularly pleased 
at the committed way their athletes bought into the process and followed up 
their AAAA State Championship from last year with their first AAAAA Division 1 
title this year; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate takes great pleasure in recognizing the fine athletes of the 
Ridge View High School boys basketball team for leading with excellence, both 
in the classroom and on the court, and the members expect to hear of continued 
great achievements in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the 
Ridge View High School boys basketball team on capturing the 2025 Class AAAAA 
Division 1 State Championship title and honor the team's exceptional players, 
coaches, and staff.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Dr. Brenda Mack, principal, and Head Coach Joshua Staley of 
Ridge View High School.
