A house RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE BOILING SPRINGS 
HIGH SCHOOL MALE AND FEMALE STRENGTH TEAMS FOR remarkable SEASONs AND TO SALUTE 
THESE OUTSTANDING ATHLETES ON CAPTURING THEIR RESPECTIVE 2026 CLASS AAAAA STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to 
learn that two Boiling Springs High School teams earned the coveted crown that 
bespeaks the best of the best when both the male strength team and female 
strength team walked away with the 2026 Class AAAAA state championship title 
for their respective competitions. These were back-to-back wins for both teams, 
and they also made it only the second time in SCHSSCA history that any school 
had won the male and female events in the same year, their own 2025 wins 
marking the first occurrence; and

Whereas, for the 2026 title competition, individual male state 
champion Kai Lee (150-pound class) rose above all the rest, and the male team 
as a whole broke the state record for team point total with 63 points scored. 
Further, the male team produced twelve All-State placers; and

Whereas, adding shine to their own crown, the female team broke two 
state records when Chloe Osteen turned in a bench score of 125 pounds and 
Karina Tsisun made a broad jump of 94 inches. The Lady Bulldogs added their 
share of All-State honors with a total of twelve placers; and

Whereas, such victories do not come overnight; they take 
determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Boiling Springs' 
Head Coach Chancen Blackwood built his strength program into championship 
caliber and forged a team that refused to settle for second best; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in 
saluting the fine athletes of the Boiling Springs strength teams, and the 
members have confidence that the Bulldogs will continue to excel in the years 
ahead. Let's 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, celebrate the Boiling Springs 
High School male and female strength teams for remarkable seasons and salute 
these outstanding athletes on capturing their respective 2026 Class AAAAA State 
Championship titles.

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