A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE AND HONOR COACH KIP HERLONG OF LAKE 
VIEW HIGH SCHOOL FOR HIS HALL OF FAME CAREER OF THIRTY-TWO YEARS AS COACH AND 
MENTOR TO COUNTLESS STUDENT-ATHLETES, TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON THE OCCASION OF 
HIS RETIREMENT, AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, it is with great 
pleasure that the South Carolina House of Representatives honors those 
individuals who give tirelessly of themselves to educate and mentor the young 
people of this great State. Prominent in the roll call of such benefactors to 
our youth is Kip Herlong, Lake View High School's legendary head baseball 
coach, who is retiring at the end of the current season; and

Whereas, a native of 
Marion, Coach Herlong developed a love of baseball at an early age and became a 
standout at Marion High School under Coach Don Cribb. He continued at the 
college level, playing at Francis Marion University before beginning his 
coaching career; and

Whereas, Coach Herlong has 
recorded more than 600 career victories in baseball during his storied 32-year 
career, being only the third coach to reach that milestone in South Carolina 
High School League history. He holds the league record for consecutive 
victories, with 49 wins between 1999-2001; and

Whereas, the Wild Gators 
have claimed eight state championships in baseball under his leadership, 
including five in a row from 1997 to 2001, as well as fifteen region 
championships and twelve lower-state crowns. In a career filled with memorable 
moments, his team's most recent state championship, from 2021, carries special 
meaning because his son, Kason, scored the championship-winning run; and

Whereas, Coach Herlong's 
talents led to his selection as a North-South All-Star game assistant in 2000 
and head coach of the South team in 2006, and coach of the South Carolina's 
Select Team in 2013. In recognition of his tremendous accomplishments, Coach 
Herlong was named the South Carolina Baseball Coaches Association's overall 
coach of the year in 2001 and was inducted into the association's Hall of Fame 
in 2024; and

Whereas, for all of his 
coaching achievements, Coach Herlong's greatest professional success may be the 
positive impact he has had on the countless boys he has coached and mentored 
over the years, helping build character through lessons learned from sports. He 
has also found special enjoyment through coaching with his brother, Assistant 
Coach Chad Herlong, and in coaching his son, Kason; and

Whereas, as Coach Herlong 
begins a well-deserved retirement, he looks forward to cheering on Kason as he 
begins his college career, and enjoying more time with his wife, Liz, their 
daughters Taylor Newell and Morgan Callahan, and their sons-in-law and 
grandchildren; and

Whereas, grateful for 
Coach Kip Herlong's legacy of consistent commitment and excellence, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives takes great pleasure in wishing him well as 
he completes a distinguished baseball and football coaching career at Lake View 
High School. The members trust he will find much enjoyment in the more 
leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate 
and honor Coach Kip Herlong of Lake View High School for his Hall of Fame 
career of thirty-two years as coach and mentor to countless student-athletes, 
to congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement, and to wish him much 
success in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Coach Kip Herlong.
