A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor the May River High School 
wrestling team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and to 
congratulate them on winning the South Carolina High School League Wrestling AAAA 
State Championship. 

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear that on February 
11, 2026, at Gilbert High School, the May River Sharks took home top honors at 
the 2026 South Carolina High School League Wrestling AAAA State Championship 
match, winning the state title for the second consecutive year; and

Whereas, the Sharks 
wrestled the Travelers Rest High School Devildogs from Greenville County in the 
state championship match. May River led 31-23 before forfeiting the 285 heavy 
weight class to finish the match 31-29, securing the state title for the second 
time in program history; and

Whereas, match winners 
for May River were Stephano Calderon, 106 weight class; Bryce Butler, 113 
weight class; Marcus Foulk, 126 weight class; Jacob Alfonzo, 138 weight class; 
Blake Butler, 157 weight class; Henry Santiz, 190 weight class; and Sean 
Zadroga-McNulty, 215 weight class; and

Whereas, the May River 
Sharks finished the season with an impressive 27-1 record. 2026 marks the May 
River High School and their wrestling program's tenth year anniversary. This 
year, the Sharks captured their eighth consecutive region title, their fourth 
lower state title, their second state title, and their second dual state title; 
and

Whereas, Head Coach Ashley 
Powell, and his talented coaching staff, Coach Cataldo, Coach Walker, Coach 
Benjamin, Coach Gio, and Coach Swenson implemented the idea of "discipline over 
motivation" this season, stating that motivation is temporary, while discipline 
lasts and gets you through difficult times. The lessons that they have taught 
these young athletes will continue to shape them on and off the mat; and 

Whereas, the Sharks also 
secured another state title at the South Carolina High School League Individual 
State, held at Florence Civic Center. The team finished the day with standout 
performances from Stephano Calderon, Bryce Butler, Ryan Seman, Marcus Foulk, 
Thomas Brough, Blake Butler, and Sean Zadroga-McNulty, with Vivian Urriola capturing 
the first female state champion title for the Sharks; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that the May River High School wrestlers have brought to their school and 
community. The members look forward to hearing of their future achievements in 
the days to come. 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 May River High School wrestling 
team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and congratulate 
them on winning the South Carolina High School League AAAA Wrestling State 
Championship.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to May River High School Principal Dr. 
KaRon L. Webb and Head Coach Ashley Powell.
