A house RESOLUTION

 

TO HONOR THE SOUTH POINTE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FOR A SUPERB SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM MEMBERS AND THEIR COACHES ON WINNING THE 2025 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

 

Whereas, the 2025 South Carolina High School League Class AAAA Cross Country Championships, held at the Aiken Steeplechase course on November 14, 2025, saw thrilling team battles and dominant individual performances, but the South Pointe boys cross country team, much to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their rivals, topped all comers when the Stallions nailed the boys team championship crown; and

 

Whereas, in a performance that enabled the Stallions to pack up hardware only champions get to take home, South Pointe topped second-place Bishop England by three points in a tight race; and

 

Whereas, the Stallions' team effort saw the seven South Pointe runners work together to secure the narrow team victory over Bishop England. These top runners were Keller Brown (senior), Evan Rybacki (senior), Felix Cassidy (senior), Jayden Finney (senior), Copeland Crawford (sophomore), Tariku Thompson (senior), and Reece Adams (junior); and

 

Whereas, further, South Pointe's Keller Brown put on an impressive display of front-running dominance, securing the Individual Class AAAA Boys State Championship. Brown crossed the finish line with a winning time of 15:39.84, maintaining a comfortable lead over the competition; and

 

Whereas, having honed their runners into a championship machine, Head Coach Trish Sacco and Assistant Coaches Lawrence Lawson, Sidney Jenkins, and Chris Sacco saw the fruit of their joint labors as the title trophy was hoisted; and

 

Whereas, grateful for their excellence, the House takes much pleasure in recognizing the South Pointe High School boys cross country team, and the members look with interest to learning of their future accomplishments. Go, Stallions! 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 South Pointe High School boys cross country team for a superb season and congratulate the team members and their coaches on winning the 2025 Class AAAA State Championship.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Valarie Williams and Head Coach Trish Sacco of South Pointe High School.
