A house RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE 
LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS GOLF TEAM ON WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH 
SCHOOL LEAGUE CLASS AAAAA DIVISION I STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, on October 28, 
2025, the members of the Lexington High School girls golf team packed up an 
impressive first-place trophy, the coveted proof of their victory at the 2025 
South Carolina High School League Class AAAAA Division I State Championship 
tournament, held at Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg; and

Whereas, the victory 
put Lexington back on top of the girls golf podium in South Carolina and gave 
the team its fifteenth state title; and

Whereas, the Wildcats 
finished with a score of 336 through 18 holes of match play. Rainy conditions 
shortened the competition to a single round, giving Lexington a one-stroke win 
over runner-up Dorman; and

Whereas, with that 
fifteenth title in hand, Lexington continues to represent the gold standard for 
girls golf teams in South Carolina. The Wildcats have ten more titles than the 
next-highest team and won seven in a row from 2004 to 2010. This year, the team 
fed off its motivation from last season's third-place finish and snapped a four-year 
championship drought; and

Whereas, to put the 
icing on the cake, three Wildcats received All-State honors for their 
performance at the championship. While Lexington didn't have the top finishers, 
their depth helped deliver them a title. Lyles Herritage finished with a score 
of 82, Giavanna Martusciello shot an 84, and Claire Kim also had 84; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands the patient exercise of polished skill, Head Coach Brandon Smith, 
strongly supported by Assistant Coach Greg Alrasian, used their own athletic 
abilities and training to build a championship team and teach these athletes 
lessons that will prove invaluable throughout life, both on and off the 
fairways and greens; and

Whereas, the House of 
Representatives takes great pleasure in saluting the Wildcats on a fine season, 
and the members look forward to hearing of their further 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, celebrate the Lexington High School girls golf team on 
winning the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AAAAA Division I State 
Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Jennifer McNair and 
Head Coach Brandon Smith of Lexington High School.
