A house RESOLUTION

to recognize and honor the Latta High School Strength 
and weightlifting team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season 
and to congratulate them on winning the South Carolina High School Strength 
Coaches Association Class A State Championship title.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to learn that the members 
of the Latta High School strength and weightlifting team captured the South 
Carolina High School Strength Coaches Association Class A State Championship 
title at the state meet held on March 21, 2026, at Lexington High School; and

Whereas, the Latta High 
School Vikings competed in the regional qualifiers held at South Florence High 
School in February, finishing in the top three of their respective weight 
classes, and earning the qualification to participate in the South Carolina 
High School Strength Coaches Association State Championship Meet; and

Whereas, at the state 
meet, competitors from classifications A through AAAAA competed together, as 
individual strength competitions are not divided by school classification. 
Representing Latta High School was Gavin Aubin, Kayden Rogers, Joe'Maurie 
Galloway, Zack Page, and Jackson Horne. The Vikings performed exceptionally 
well and placed high enough in their respective weight classes to accumulate 
the points needed to be crowned the Class A State Strength Champions; and 

Whereas, Viking Gavin 
Aubin placed second in the 190-pound division. His exceptional performance at 
the state meet earned him All-State honors and a spot on the medal podium; and 

Whereas, in a sport 
that requires endurance and strength, Head Coach Brandon Iseman and his 
talented coaching staff utilized their own athletic experience and passion for 
the sport to craft a championship-caliber team. The lessons that they have 
taught these young athletes will continue to prove invaluable on and off the 
mat; and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition 
that the Latta High School strength and weightlifting athletes have brought to 
their school and community. The members look forward to hearing of their future 
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 Latta High School strength and weightlifting 
team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate 
them on winning the South Carolina High School Strength Coaches Association Class 
A State Championship title.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Latta High School Principal Nan 
Carmichael and Head Coach Brandon Iseman.
