A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE DENMARK-OLAR BOYS BASKETBALL 
TEAM ON CAPTURING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE CLASS A STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP IN BOYS BASKETBALL AND TO HONOR THE TEAM'S EXCEPTIONAL PLAYERS, COACHES, 
AND STAFF.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is proud to recognize the Denmark-Olar High 
School boys basketball team for winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League 
(SCHSL) Class A State Championship on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at the Florence 
Center Arena in Florence; and

Whereas, the 
Denmark-Olar High School boys basketball team first found out that their head 
coach, Hercules Davis, was planning to retire on the school's Senior Night, 
toward the end of the regular season. It was significant, considering ten of 
the thirteen players on the roster were seniors. The team made a promise they 
were going to give Coach Davis a ring, and they lived up to the expectation. Not 
only did the Vikings bring home the championship trophy in Davis's last game, 
but they earned the first boys basketball state title ever for Denmark-Olar; 
and

Whereas, Joshua 
Goodman, Terrence Hinton, Tykeem Ross, Christian Nimmons, Robert Bovain, 
Geontae Staley, Nyheem Brimfield, Carlos Johnson, William Ross, Se'Quavin 
Pough, Courtney Washington, Reginald Youmans, and Jordan Howell represented the 
Denmark-Olar boys basketball team in the title competition; and

Whereas, five of the ten 
seniors played the entire game, with Goodman and Ross, fellow forward Robert 
Bovain and guards Terrence Hinton and Christian Nimmons each logging thirty-two 
minutes. Abbeville controlled the momentum early, but they were never able to 
be dominant. After the Vikings scored the game's first basket, the Panthers 
scored the next nine points. Nevertheless, the Vikings scored the next nine 
points to regain the lead early in the second quarter; and

Whereas, to the delight 
of their faithful fans, the team overcame a slow start to take a double-digit 
lead in the third quarter and held down the stretch for an outstanding victory 
over Abbeville, a team that only two others managed to knock off this season; 
and

Whereas, Joshua Goodman, 
led the way in scoring, and the Vikings were up by eight, with eight minutes 
left in the fourth quarter. A few mental mistakes in the final minute gave the 
Panthers life, but a team with ten seniors would not be denied their chance at 
history. The boys kept their focus and composure to win the game with a final 
score of 58-52; and

Whereas, the House of 
Representatives takes great pleasure in recognizing the young players of the 
Denmark-Olar 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 House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate 
the Denmark-Olar boys basketball team on capturing the 2025 South Carolina High 
School League Class A State Championship in boys basketball and honor the 
team's exceptional players, coaches, and staff. 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Dr. Deonia Simmons, principal of Denmark-Olar High School, and 
Head Coach Hercules Davis.
