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 Rock Hill High School girls wrestling team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 South Carolina Class AAAAA State Championship title. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Ozzie Ahl and Coach Cain Beard. ----XX----
