A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE NORTHWESTERN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM 
AND COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2024 CLASS AAAAA DIVISION II STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, in a wild 
34-31 title game, the Northwestern High School football team drove past top 
contender Irmo to finish the season 14-0 and nail the 2024 Class AAAAA Division 
II State Championship on Saturday, December 14, 2024; and

Whereas, at this epic 
contest, the momentum Northwestern had brought to the game kept on going for 
the Trojans and paid off. Orangeburg's Oliver Dawson Stadium echoed with the 
cheers of exuberant Northwestern fans, pleased to see their confident predictions 
of victory realized as a satisfying end to an undefeated season; and

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

Whereas, at the end of 
this riveting back-and-forth contest, senior kicker Matthew Fish sent a 27-yard 
field goal well above the uprights as time expired, capping another stellar 
performance from quarterback Finley Polk and Northwestern's high-powered 
offense; and

Whereas, it was the 
sixth state championship in school history for Northwestern and the school's 
first since 2015. In addition, this win marked the Trojans' second state-title 
game appearance in the past three years; and

Whereas, the Trojans 
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 Northwestern High School football team and coaches on their impressive win 
of the 2024 Class AAAAA Division II State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Principal Michael Abraham and Head Coach Page Wofford of 
Northwestern High School.
