A house RESOLUTION

TO 
RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE LANDRUM HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM, COACHES, AND 
SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR 
WINNING THE 2026 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to 
learn that the members of the Landrum High girls basketball team of Spartanburg 
County captured the state title at the state competition held at the Colonial 
Life arena in Columbia on Thursday, March 5, 2026; and

Whereas, to the thrill of their exuberant fans, the Landrum Lady Cardinals 
defeated a competitive Atlantic Collegiate Academy in a nail-biting 45-43 
victory, finishing the season with a 20-7 record and winning the program's 
first state championship; and 

Whereas, one of Landrum's 20 wins was the hard-fought Battle of the 
Border against local rival and class AAAAA Spartanburg High School, 69-61, and 
another was a commanding 66-47 victory over Andrew Jackson High School, two-time 
winner of class AA state championship, for the Upper State championship and a 
bid to the state game; and

Whereas, after appearing twice in the last three years in the state championship 
game, Landrum had the lead at halftime in the title game, 33-22, as Kylie 
Fortner's 3-pointer ended the second quarter. Atlantic steadily chipped away at 
the Lady Cavaliers' lead, cutting it to 39-36 heading into the fourth quarter; 
and

Whereas, with 32 seconds left in the game, Landrum led 45-40 on sophomore 
Delaney Caldwell's free throw. But an Atlantic Armada three-point play cut the 
lead to 45-43 with 27 seconds left, and Atlantic missed a three-point as time 
expired; and

Whereas, Landrum's Delaney Caldwell led all scorers with 19 points, 
12 rebounds, and 6 assists. Kylie Fortner added 10 points in the state 
championship, and earlier in the year, she became the all-time leading scorer 
for the Lady Cavaliers. Emalynn Bright added 7 points, Hazel Cain 3, Avery 
Caldwell 3, Leena Schembra 2, and Sullivan Price 1. Every point in the 
championship game determined the Lady Cavaliers' state title victory; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands speed, stamina, and precision, Head 
Coach Kali Koenig and her skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic 
ability and training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these 
athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the 
court; and

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the 
pride and recognition that the Landrum basketball players have brought to their 
school and their community, and the members look forward to following their 
continued accomplishments in 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, recognize and honor the Landrum 
High School girls basketball team, coaches, and school officials for an 
extraordinary season and congratulate them for winning the 2026 South Carolina 
Class AA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Dr. J. Kegan Flynn, principal, and to Coach Kali Koenig.
