A house RESOLUTION

 

TO HONOR THE C.A. JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM AND COACHES ON THEIR IMPRESSIVE WIN OF THE 2026 CLASS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE AND TO SALUTE THEM ON A FINE SEASON.

 

Whereas, the air on your face and the ground under your feet feel different when you reach the top of the mountain. The C.A. Johnson Green Hornets found that out on Saturday, March 7, 2026, when they knocked down Bethune Bowman 72-64 to claim the Class A Boys Basketball State Championship; and

 

Whereas, the Green Hornets, playing fewer than four miles from their own campus, used that proximity to advantage and won the team's first state championship in more than a decade, as well as its third title in program history; and

 

Whereas, the scene of this well-earned triumph was Columbia's Colonial Life Arena, used by the Hornets to demonstrate clearly why C.A. Johnson rose to the top of the rankings. C.A. Johnson Coach Robert McCray had the satisfaction of seeing his players convincingly prove that they deserved their crown; and

 

Whereas, Aissacc Germany and Javarius Wyche each scored 24 points to lead the Green Hornets. Class A Player of the Year Milton McCray added 14 points; and

 

Whereas, the members of the C.A. Johnson boys basketball 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 to the encomiums flowing in to this outstanding group of young athletes. Go, Green Hornets! 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 C.A. Johnson High School boys basketball team and coaches on their impressive win of the 2026 Class A State Championship title and salute them on a fine season.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Brenton Coe, principal, and Head Coach Robert McCray of C.A. Johnson High School.
