A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR THE FORT MILL HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM FOR A STELLAR SEASON AND TO 
CONGRATULATE THE YELLOW JACKETS ON WINNING THE 2026 CLASS AAAAA DIVISION II 
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the 
Fort Mill High School wrestling team captured the Class AAAAA Division II top 
prize at this year's state tournament, held at White Knoll High School in 
Lexington on Wednesday, February 11, 2026; and

Whereas, to the cheers 
of their delighted fans, the Fort Mill Yellow Jackets won with a dominant 52-11 
decision against Lugoff-Elgin to claim their fourth consecutive state wrestling 
crown; and

Whereas, moreover, the 
Yellow Jackets finished the season with a perfect 31-0 record, marking their 
second straight undefeated season, and this new 2026 championship extended the 
program's winning streak to 67 consecutive dual matches, the longest active 
streak in South Carolina; and

Whereas, during the 
finals, Peter Escudero (106 pounds) clinched the team title with a 19-4 
technical fall; Lincoln Greene (157 pounds) secured a 16-0 technical fall, 
ending his career with four championship rings; Luke Van Beynum (120 pounds) 
recorded a pin in just 18 seconds; and Krystian Villatoro (heavyweight) added a 
first-period pin to bolster the score; and

Whereas, under Head 
Coach Adam Marullo, the team has lost only three dual matches over the last 
four years. Following the team championship, Fort Mill also won the 5A Division 
II Upper State Individual Tournament with 246.5 points, qualifying twelve wrestlers 
for the individual state tournament. At the individual state tournament, 
Lincoln Greene was crowned 2026 150 Pounds Class AAAAA State Champion; and

Whereas, clearly, Fort 
Mill has firmly established a wrestling dynasty in the Palmetto State; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition the 
Fort Mill wrestlers have brought to their school and community, and the members 
look forward to following their continued achievements in the days ahead. Go, 
Yellow Jackets! 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 for a stellar season and congratulate the Yellow Jackets on winning the 
2026 Class AAAAA Division II State Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Zachary D. Beam and 
Head Coach Adam Marullo of Fort Mill High School.
