A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE MCBEE HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL 
OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 
2025 DIVISION A STATE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that on May 31, 2025, at 
Francis Marion University, the McBee Panthers varsity baseball team became 
state champions for the fourth time since 2016, after defeating the Lake View 
High School Wild Gators two games to one to capture the 2025 Division A State 
Baseball Championship series; and

Whereas, determined to 
come out on top after losing game two of the championship series, McBee gained the 
momentum early with three runs in the third inning, a lead which the Panthers 
maintained and extended throughout the contest with a combination of stand-up 
pitching, defense, hitting, and base running, resulting in a final score of 8-1; 
and

Whereas, McBee starting 
senior pitcher, Aiden Hughes, was on the mound for all seven innings, leading 
the team to victory, giving up only five hits and one run over seven innings, 
striking out seven and walking two. Hughes also helped the Panthers secure the 
win with two runs batted in and went 1-for-3 at the plate; and

Whereas, other standout 
performances for the Panthers included third-inning scoring by Cohen Reid, J.J. 
Melton, and Landon Tedder, who reached base on a fielder's choice, by drawing a 
walk, and by singling, respectively; a fourth-inning run by Manning Tolsen on a 
hit by Cohen Reid; and insurance runs later in the game, including a run by 
Evan Norris on a sacrifice RBI fly by Landon Tedder. The win for McBee 
showcased the strong teamwork, dedication, and perseverance of every Panther; 
and 

Whereas, Head Coach Josh Tiller 
was confident in his team and the hard work that they put in to get to this 
point. He knew that the loss to Lake View would be a motivator to his team, 
urging them to fight hard and get the win. Both teams came into this final game 
with something to prove and McBee played a great game that was a testament to 
their skilled players and dedicated coaches, as well as their devoted school and 
community support; and 

Whereas, in a sport that 
demands discipline, focus, and strength, Coach Tiller and his skilled coaching 
staff utilized their own experiences and passion for the sport to craft a 
championship-caliber team and teach these young athletes life principles and 
lessons that will prove invaluable through life on and off the diamond; and 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that the McBee Panthers baseball team has brought to their school and community 
and look forward to following their future successes. 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 McBee High School varsity baseball 
team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate 
them for winning the 2025 Division A State Baseball Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to McBee High School Principal 
Sherry Young and Head Coach Josh Tiller.
