A house RESOLUTION

 

TO HONOR THE SOCASTEE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM AND COACH ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL LEAGUE CLASS AAAAA DIVISION II STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO SALUTE THEM ON A FABULOUS SEASON.

 

Whereas, the air on your face and the ground under your feet feel different when you reach the top of the mountain. The Socastee High School boys volleyball team found that out on November 1, 2025, when the Braves knocked off rival Catawba Ridge 17-25, 25-18, 25-19, 25-22 to claim the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AAAAA Division II State Championship title; and

 

Whereas, played at A.C. Flora High School in Columbia, the championship game gave elated Socastee fans the chance to see the Braves capturing their first-ever state title in boys volleyball, a feat that wrapped up an unforgettable season and gave these athletes the title win on their first title appearance; and

 

Whereas, moreover, 2025 was only the fourth year of boys volleyball in South Carolina and just the third year of its status as a championship sport sanctioned by the South Carolina High School League; and

 

Whereas, with justifiable pride, Coach Gracie Hinson watched the Braves raise their new title hardware. From the start of the competition, she knew it wasn't going to be an easy win, but her determined players rose to the challenge and conquered; and

 

Whereas, the members of the Socastee High boys volleyball team have given their school and community reason to be proud of their accomplishments, and the House takes great pleasure in adding its collective voice of praise to the encomiums flowing in to this outstanding group of young athletes. Go, Braves! 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 Socastee High School boys volleyball team and coach on their impressive win of the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AAAAA Division II State Championship title and salute them on a fabulous season.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Jeremy Rich and Coach Gracie Hinson of Socastee High School.
