A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE OCEANSIDE COLLEGIATE 
ACADEMY FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2025 CLASS AAA 
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, fully prepared for the challenge, the Oceanside Collegiate 
Academy football team drove past Belton-Honea Path 28-7 to finish the season 
with some highly coveted hardware and the 2025 Class AAA State Championship on 
Friday, December 5, 2025; and

Whereas, it was the team's third consecutive state title win and the 
second straight year the Landsharks have bested the Bears in the 3A finals. 
They won the 2A state title in 2023; and

Whereas, during the title game, Oceanside quarterback Aiden Manavian 
was 11-21 for 152 yards and a touchdown. The opening score of the game was 
Manavian connecting with Anthony Williams on a 47-yard score in the second 
quarter. After a Joey Harriott sack caused a fumble that the Landsharks 
recovered, Terence Johnson would rush for his first touchdown of the day to 
make it a 14-0 halftime lead; and

Whereas, the Landsharks' defense continued to dominate in the third 
quarter, getting an interception from Michael Strickler and another forced 
fumble on a sack from Sawyer Arnold. Johnson would add two more touchdown runs 
in the fourth quarter to up the lead to 28-0; and

Whereas, moreover, the Oceanside defense held the Belton-Honea Path 
offense, which had averaged almost 50 points per game this season, to just 204 
total yards of offense. Oceanside's defense was led by Rhys Meredith with 
eleven total tackles and assisted by Michael Strickler, who snagged an 
interception in the win; and

Whereas, it was a satisfying conclusion to a fine 13-2 season; and

Whereas, such victories do not come overnight; they take 
determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Oceanside's Head 
Coach Brent LaPrad built his football program into championship caliber and 
shaped a team that refused to settle for second best; and

Whereas, the Landsharks have given their school and community reason 
to be proud of their accomplishments, and the members of the House of 
Representatives take great pleasure in adding their collective voice to the 
many encomiums flowing in to this outstanding group of young athletes. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of 
Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House 
of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the Oceanside Collegiate 
Academy football team and coaches on their impressive win of the 2025 Class AAA 
State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Interim Principal Mike Lorenz and Head Coach Brent LaPrad of Oceanside 
Collegiate Academy.
