A house RESOLUTION

TO APPLAUD THE DORMAN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS VOLLEYBALL 
TEAM ON NETTING THE 2025 CLASS AAAAA DIVISION I STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO 
SALUTE THESE ATHLETES AND THEIR COACHES ON A FABULOUS UNDEFEATED SEASON.

Whereas, if there is 
such a thing as a dynasty in the early years of boys volleyball in South 
Carolina sports, Dorman has become one. With a 3-0 sweep of Carolina Forest on 
Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Columbia's A.C. Flora High School, the Dorman 
High School Cavaliers won their fourth straight state championship, third 
straight state title sanctioned by the South Carolina High School League, and 
second straight Class AAAAA Division I crown; and

Whereas, the win for 
Dorman (31-0) was also the seventy-third straight victory of a streak dating 
back to September 16, 2023; and

Whereas, Head Coach 
Andrew Copeland of Dorman declared that while the match went down in the books 
as a 3-0 win, he recognized a lot of fight and talent on the Carolina Forest 
side of the court; and

Whereas, ranked Number 
1 in the State and Number 1 in the nation on MaxPreps, Dorman will 
graduate nine seniors. Most programs would consider Dorman's next season a 
rebuilding year, but Coach Copeland, who openly remembers when he and his 
players "were literally celebrating getting three hits and getting it over the 
net" and compares that time to the present situation, is not worried; and

Whereas, rather, he is 
thankful for the depth his team has across the board at every position and 
avers that some players on the Cavaliers' bench would be starters if they were 
at another school. Dorman's depth, he feels, is what keeps the Cavaliers competitive 
and what sustains their play at a high level; his players know the team has 
people right behind them who can compete; and

Whereas, throughout the 
season, the team challenged itself by becoming battle-tested, including 
competing in its first-ever out-of-state tournament in Virginia Beach. There, 
Dorman faced some of the top talent in the Southeast region, including teams 
ranked in the national Top 25. The Cavaliers went on to win the Endless Summer 
Volleyball Tournament and by the end of the season had securely nailed their 
Number 1 state and national standing; and

Whereas, appreciative 
of the well-deserved recognition these athletes have brought to their school 
and community, the House of Representatives congratulates the Cavaliers, and 
the members look with interest toward hearing of their further successes both 
on, and off, the volleyball court. Go, Cavaliers! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, applaud the Dorman High School boys volleyball team on 
netting the 2025 Class AAAAA Division I State Championship title and salute 
these athletes and their coaches on a fabulous undefeated season.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Bryant Roberson and 
Coach Andrew Copeland of Dorman High School.
