A house RESOLUTION

 

TO CONGRATULATE THE POWDERSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM ON AN IMPRESSIVE SEASON AND TO CELEBRATE THE PATRIOTS' CAPTURE OF THE 2024-2025 CLASS AAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

 

Whereas, on Friday, May 23, 2025, at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, a determined Powdersville High School boys soccer team clinched the 2024-2025 Class AAA State Championship title with a 1-0 victory, pushing past Oceanside Collegiate Academy to make school history after junior Ethan Piel scored the match's one and only goal; and

 

Whereas, when the team raised the state championship trophy, it was the first time ever in soccer for Powdersville, as well as the team's first appearance at the state finals, and it was sweet. Prior to this triumph, the Patriots had made it to Upper State three times, only to come up just short each of those times; and

 

Whereas, Powdersville's Coach Jeremy McCall led his athletes to the top of the mountain at the championship competition and found the view worth the climb. Under Coach McCall, the Patriots set their goal to go 1-0 in each post-season playoff match until fulfilling that goal with the 1-0 state win. It all added up to a finish of 23-3 overall for the season, a great run; and

 

Whereas, the icing on the cake: Brody Pike was named both an All-State and All-Region Player of the Year for the second consecutive year; Didier Pineda and Jud Scrivner also were tapped for All-State; and Cooper McCall, Didier Pineda, Jed Turner, and Jud Scrivner took away All-Region honors; and

 

Whereas, proud of these fine student athletes, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the recognition the Powdersville High boys soccer players have brought to their school and community, and the members look to hear of many more victories for the school in coming seasons. Go, Patriots! Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate the Powdersville High School boys soccer team on an impressive season and celebrate the Patriots' capture of the 2024-2025 Class AAA State Championship title.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Adam Lanford, principal, and Coach Jeremy McCall of Powdersville High School.
