A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO CONGRATULATE THE CAROLINA FOREST HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Summary
H3989 is a simple House resolution that recognizes and congratulates the Carolina Forest High School wrestling team, its coaches, and school officials for winning the 2025 South Carolina Class AAAAA state championship. The resolution highlights that the championship, held in Columbia on February 8, 2025, was the program’s first-ever state wrestling title and notes the team’s 42-31 victory over Boiling Springs in the final.
The resolution also credits Coach Matt Perdue for guiding the team through a successful season and states that the House takes pride in honoring the student-athletes for their accomplishment. It directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to Principal Gaye Driggers and Coach Perdue as a formal expression of legislative recognition.
Impact
H3989 does not change state law, create new policy, or appropriate funds. Its effect is ceremonial only: it formally records the General Assembly’s recognition of Carolina Forest High School’s wrestling championship and creates an official legislative commendation for the school, coaches, and athletes. No statutes are amended and no rights or obligations are imposed on any person or entity.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text itself is entirely laudatory, emphasizing school pride, perseverance, and the significance of the team’s first state title. There is no recorded committee debate, no votes, and no opposition in the provided context, suggesting the measure is noncontroversial and likely intended as a unanimous or near-unanimous recognition resolution.
Contention
There are no notable points of contention in the available record. Because the resolution is honorary and does not affect policy, budget, or regulation, it does not appear to have generated disagreement among legislators or stakeholders. The only substantive details are factual references to the championship result, the team’s season, and the individuals receiving the resolution.
