Summary

H4826 is a simple House resolution honoring the Cardinal Newman School boys soccer team, its coaches, and school officials for winning the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A state championship. The resolution recounts the team’s 6-2 victory over Porter-Gaud, highlights Tanner Battafarano’s hat trick, and notes that the title was the program’s sixth consecutive state championship and thirteenth overall. The measure does not change substantive law or create any new rights, duties, or funding obligations. Instead, it serves as a formal legislative commendation, with the House expressing appreciation for the team’s success and directing that a copy of the resolution be presented to Principal Charles Assey and Coach Will Eudy.

Impact
