A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM AND 
COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2024 CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, fully prepared 
for the challenge, the Clinton High School football team drove past Barnwell to 
finish the season with some highly coveted hardware and the 2024 Class AA State 
Championship on Thursday, December 12, 2024. It was Clinton's first state 
football title in fifteen years and its ninth in school history; and

Whereas, in capturing 
the title with a 35-6 win, the Clinton team did highly effectively what it does 
offensively -- pound the football and pound the football some more -- and its 
defense had its best game of the season in the biggest game of the year. Moreover, 
the momentum Clinton had brought to the game kept on going for the Red Devils 
and paid off. South Carolina State University's Oliver C. Dawson Stadium echoed 
with the cheers of exuberant Clinton fans, pleased to see their confident 
predictions of victory realized as a satisfying end to a fine 12-2 season; and

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

Whereas, members of the 
2024 championship team are Tushawan Richardson, Chris Fortman, Javen Cook, 
Austin Boyd, Amari Grant, K.J. Vance, Chris Boyd, Kason Copeland, Devin 
Swindler, Brett Young, Saphyre Tribble, Owen Glenn, Maison Tinsley, Jaydon 
Glenn, Bryson Perrin, Angelo Cromer, Graydon Watkins, D.J. Clark, A.Z. Simmons, 
Rhett Gilliam, Logan Havard, A'Javian James, Eric Cunningham, D'Markus Lyndsay, 
Noah Garrett, Zy Butler, Angel Vargas, Luke Young, Lincoln Alexander, Emmanuel 
Lagroon, Brayden Tucker, Kynius Williams, Brody Garrett, R.J. Johnson, Daniel 
Gossett, Deangelo Mattison, Adarrell Swindler, Jace Patterson, Clayton Lawson, 
Ashton Sherfield, Rion Gordon, Josh Brown, Shelby Dugas, Jafyrie Cunningham, 
Tristan Boyd, Tre Aiken, Jaevis McDowell, Cal Pitts, Dalton Nabors, Hunter 
Lawson, Jackson Nance, Elijah Davis, K.J. Smith, Jared Honeycutt, Jeff Sanchez, 
P.J. McGowan, Hayden Lollis, Lukas Kuykendall, Jacob Lindler, and Jared 
Willard; and

Whereas, the 
championship football team was supported by committed Red Devil football staff 
members, including Head Coach Corey Fountain; Assistant Coaches Louie 
Alexander, Dontavius Glenn, Ethan Campbell, Bobby Jones, Tosh Corley, Peyton 
Spangler, Lavadrick Glenn, Jake Williams, James Davis, Hayden Rogers, Clay 
Cotney, and Sam Tiller. Other strong support came from Bradley Gardner, 
scorekeeper; Bryland James, manager; Louie Alexander, athletic director; Adam 
Howell, director of strength and conditioning; Thomas Hellams, character coach; 
Dr. Nora Ann Pace, athletic trainer; Phillip Milner and Stan Walsh, team 
doctors; Charles Steele, videographer; and Jayson Glenn, Will Corley, and Brady 
Fountain, ball boys; and

Whereas, the Red Devils 
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 Clinton High School football team and coaches on their impressive win of 
the 2024 Class AA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Dr. Martha Brothers, principal, and Head Coach Corey Fountain 
of Clinton High School.
