A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE Bamberg-Ehrhardt High 
School varsity football TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A STELLAR 
SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS A 
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Bamberg-Ehrhardt football team of Bamberg County won the state championship 
game held in Orangeburg on Friday, December 5, 2025; and

Whereas, to the delight 
of their exuberant fans, the Bamberg-Ehrhardt Red Raiders defeated the Lamar 
High School Silver Foxes 35-21 to take their first state trophy since 1990, a 
thirty-five-year struggle for a comeback; and

Whereas, Lamar was on 
the scoreboard first, taking a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Red Raiders 
took the lead when Bamberg-Ehrhardt's Jalen McGraw made a rushing touchdown in 
the second quarter. When the teams headed to the lockers at halftime, the 
Raiders had a 14-13 lead; and

Whereas, in the second 
half, Bamberg-Ehrhardt held the lead, outscoring Lamar 21-8. Red Raiders 
quarterback Brian McMillan had two rushing touchdowns in the game, including a 
13-yard scramble to bring the lead to 28-13. He threw for two more in the 
championship game; and

Whereas, Bamberg-Ehrhardt 
finished with a perfect 15-0 record for the 2025 season. The 2025 state win is 
the second in the program's history; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands fortitude, strength, and practiced skills, Head Coach Corey Crosby 
and his dedicated coaching staff maximized their own athletic ability and 
training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes life 
principles that will endure beyond the gridiron; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the Bamberg-Ehrhardt 
football players have brought to their school and their community, and the 
members look forward to hearing of their continued 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, recognize and honor the Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School varsity 
football team, coaches, and school officials for a stellar season and 
congratulate them for winning the 2025 South Carolina Class A State 
Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Jordan D. Smith and 
Coach Corey Crosby.
