A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE 
AND HONOR THE PEE DEE ACADEMY SOFTBALL TEAM AND COACHES ON AN OUTSTANDING 
SEASON, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM ON WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT 
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
were pleased to hear that the Pee Dee Academy softball team won its fourth 
consecutive South Carolina Independent School Association Championship on 
Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at the Clarendon Hall field in Summerton; and

Whereas, to the delight of their exuberant fans, the Pee Dee Academy Lady 
Golden Eagles defeated Clarendon Hall 12-3, completing a sweep of the best-of-three 
3A series, finishing the season with a 26-1 record, and continuing to defend 
their title for another year; and

Whereas, in game one, Pee Dee Academy scored two runs in the bottom of 
the sixth to force extra innings and won it in the eighth in a 4-3 
come-from-behind win; and

Whereas, the championship winning game on Wednesday was attributed to 
the amazing teamwork of the Lady Eagles. Addison Hasty led the team, going 
3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, and one RBI (Runs Batted In). 
Azeleigh Arnette and Claire Eskridge both had two hits, including a home run. 
Arnette had two runs and two RBI and Eskridge had two RBI and a run. Maddie 
Coward had two hits, including a double, and an RBI. Katie Estes had two hits, 
two runs, and the game-winning RBI, and Carly Carroll had two hits, two runs, 
and an RBI. Coward also went the distance on the mound, scattering six hits 
while striking out five and walking none; and 

Whereas, in a sport that demands agility and precision, Head Coach 
Will Eskridge and his talented coaching staff utilized their own experience and 
passion for the sport to mold a championship-caliber team. The lessons that 
they have taught these young athletes will continue to shape them on and off 
the field; and 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives 
value the pride and recognition that the Pee Dee softball team has brought to 
their school and community. They look forward to hearing of the teams continued 
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 Pee Dee Academy 
softball team and coaches on an outstanding season, and congratulate them on 
winning the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association 3A State 
Championship. 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 
Pee Dee Academy Head of School Allyson Carmichael and Head Coach Will Eskridge.
