A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BOILING SPRINGS HIGH 
SCHOOL MALE AND FEMALE STRENGTH TEAMS FOR A STELLAR SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE 
THESE OUTSTANDING ATHLETES ON WINNING THEIR RESPECTIVE 2025 CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 
TITLES.

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Boiling Springs High 
School produced two championship teams at the 2025 Class AAAAA state strength 
tournament when both the Boiling Springs male strength team and its female 
strength team made it all the way to the top of the mountain, both of them for 
the first time ever in school history; and

Whereas, a throng of 
excited Boiling Springs fans packed into the scene of the action to watch the 
school's strength teams prove their mettle. The results? It was the first time 
in SCHSSCA history that any school had won the male and female events in the same 
year, and the Dawgs did it!; and

Whereas, at this year's 
championship, three individual male state champions, Kai Lee (140 class), Gavin 
Calhoun (205 class), and Collin Johnson (235 class), showed out above and 
beyond the rest of their competition. In addition to these individual state 
champions, the male team racked up thirteen All-State placers and won the 
competition by 28 points. Female team members enlarged an already enviable 
reputation by turning out seven All-State placers and breaking four state 
records on their road to victory; and

Whereas, over the 
course of the season, Head Coach Chancen Blackwood, ably supported by a team of 
exceptional assistant coaches, delivered the incredible training that brought to 
the Dawgs brand-new hardware only champions get to take home. Coach Blackwood, 
who is also Boiling Springs' head coach for athletic performance, recently was 
named 2025 South Carolina Strength Coach of the Year by the National High 
School Strength Coaches Association, as well as both 5A and SCACA Strength 
Coach of the Year; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition the 
members of the Boiling Springs strength teams have brought to their school and 
community, and the members look forward to following their continued 
achievements in the days ahead. Go, Dawgs! 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 Boiling Springs High School male and female strength teams for a 
stellar season and congratulate these outstanding athletes on winning their 
respective 2025 Class AAAAA State Championship titles.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Principal Zach McQuigg and Head Coach Chancen Blackwood of 
Boiling Springs High School.
