VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
to recognize and honor the latta high school softball team, coaches, and school officials for an extraordinary season and to congratulate them for winning the 2025 south carolina class A state championship title.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to recognize the outstanding achievement of the Latta High School softball team of Dillon County, which captured the 2025 South Carolina Class A State Championship title at the championship series; and
Whereas, cheered on by an enthusiastic home crowd, the Latta Lady Vikings secured a 5-2 victory over a strong and competitive Lewisville High School team to claim the state championship; and
Whereas, championship success is built upon exceptional pitching and timely hitting, both of which were on full display as Latta, finishing the season with a 23-5 record, earned the title with a decisive performance; and
Whereas, Maddie Berry started in the circle for Latta and delivered a dominant performance, recording nine strikeouts, while Paisley Jackson entered in relief and added five strikeouts to silence Lewisville's offense; and
Whereas, junior catcher Samantha Townsend provided leadership and energy throughout the contest, going two-for-three at the plate with two singles, one run batted in, one run scored, a stolen base, and drawing a hit-by-pitch, serving as a catalyst for the Lady Vikings' offensive momentum; and
Whereas, after Latta briefly relinquished a 1-2 lead in the fourth inning, the Lady Vikings responded with determination as Sarah Bryant drew a walk and stole second base, Madison Kersey reached base and stole, and Rylan Hunt executed a key sacrifice bunt to set the stage for a timely RBI single by Townsend; and
Whereas, those efforts propelled Latta to a 3-2 lead entering the fifth inning, and with two additional runs scored in the sixth inning, the Lady Vikings secured a 5-2 victory, as Jackson closed out the game with poise and precision; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives commend the Latta High School softball team for the pride, sportsmanship, and recognition that they have brought to their school and community and look forward to their continued success. 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 Latta High School softball team, coaches, and school officials for an extraordinary season and congratulate them for winning the 2025 South Carolina Class A State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Nanette Carmichael and Coach Anna Rogers.
