VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
TO HONOR THE NORTHWOOD ACADEMY FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Whereas, not to be denied the crown, the Northwood Academy football team drove past the Heathwood Highlanders 61-7 to decisively capture the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A State Championship on Friday, November 21, 2025; and
Whereas, at the title contest, held at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium in Orangeburg, Northwood quarterback Kevin Johnson threw for 340 yards and five touchdowns, three of them to Aydan Hogan, as the Chargers won a state championship for the first time since 2014. Johnson threw his fifth touchdown pass to open the third quarter. There was a running clock the rest of the way; and
Whereas, at the start of the game, things were looking good for Heathwood. The Highlanders took the opening kickoff and marched down the field with little resistance, including a 57-yard pass, which set up a five-yard touchdown run, and giving the Highlanders a 7-0 lead just 53 seconds into the game; and
Whereas, however, it was all Northwood after that. The Chargers answered that score with a 36-yard pass from Johnson to Drew Wolfe that was a harbinger of things to come. By the time the half was over, Johnson had four touchdown passes, the Chargers had two rushing scores, and the game stood at 40-7; and
Whereas, Hogan ended with seven catches for 126 yards, and Wolfe added five catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns. The Chargers finished with 440 yards of total offense; and
Whereas, such triumphs do not come overnight; they take determination and hard work. With proven consistency in both, Northwood's Head Coach Johnny Waters, with the able assistance of his fine staff, built his football program into a championship team that refused to settle for second best; and
Whereas, the Northwood Chargers have given their school and community reason to be proud of their accomplishments, and the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in adding their collective voice to the many encomiums flowing in to this outstanding group of young athletes. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor the Northwood Academy football team and coaches on their impressive win of the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A State Championship.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Christina Furrow, head of school, and Head Coach Johnny Waters of Northwood Academy.
