A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS 
FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH 
CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE, THEIR THIRD STRAIGHT TITLE WIN.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Fort 
Mill wrestling team of York County secured the championship trophy at the state 
tournament held at Dreher High School in Columbia on Saturday, February 8, 2025; 
and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their exuberant fans, the Fort Mill Yellow Jackets defeated a fine, 
competitive Lugoff-Elgin High School to secure their third straight 
championship title 33-28, ending with a perfect 19-0 dual season; and

Whereas, the Lugoff-Elgin 
Demons took an early and their only lead of the match, but Fort Mill quickly 
responded. Yellow Jacket Ted Ernst earned a pin in the 215-pound division, 
followed by another pin by teammate Jonathan DaSilva in the heavyweight 
division; and

Whereas, Fort Mill 
built on its initial successes with Luke Van Beynum's 8-5 win at 113 pounds and 
an impressive 19-7 major decision from Cole Wartinger at 120 pounds; and

Whereas, Tucker Gibson rallied 
at 126 pounds to secure a 9-8 decision, extending the Yellow Jackets lead to 
22-7. Other teammates contributing to the team's victory were Lincoln Greene, 
Jayden Nguyen and Vincent Damico; and

Whereas, in a sport 
that demands personal excellence and individual strength, Head Coach Adam 
Marullo and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic experience 
and training to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes 
lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the mats; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that 
the Fort Mill wrestlers have brought to their school and their community, and the 
members look forward to following their continued accomplishments 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 Fort Mill High School wrestling team, coaches, and school 
officials for an extraordinary season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 
South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title, their third straight title 
win.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to Principal Zachary Beam and Coach Adam Marullo.
