RESOLUTION

TO SALUTE THE A.C. FLORA HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER
TEAM ON ITS SCINTILLATING SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM'S ATHLETES AND
COACHES ON THEIR EXCITING WIN OF THE 2025 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

W
hereas, on Saturday,
May 24, 2025, Head Coach Eric Navarro watched his A.C. Flora High School girls
soccer players climb to the top of the mountain at the 2025 Class AAAA State
Championship game. Both coach and players found the view exhilarating. The Lady
Falcons, competing at Columbia's Memorial Stadium, defeated Bishop England 1-0,
to the cheers of elated Flora fans; and

W
hereas, history was
going to be made the day of the Class AAAA girls soccer title match. On one
side was Bishop England, seeking its thirteenth state title, which, if
captured, would tie Riverside for the most in girls soccer. Standing in the way
was A.C. Flora, looking to win the program's first-ever title; and

W
hereas, thanks to a
timely header by sophomore Samantha Lawther and stout defense from goalkeeper
Kennedy Bagley, the Lady Falcons defeated the Lady Bishops, made school
history, and took home an impressive new trophy for their display case; and

W
hereas, it was a
scoreless contest through the first fifty-eight minutes. With a corner kick,
senior Emma Valdes timed the ball with Lawther's position to allow her to make
the timely hit into the net. With Bagley's eleven saves and the Lady Falcons'
frontline keeping the Lady Bishops at bay, Flora finished the season with eight
straight shutouts; and

W
hereas, the
championship came in Coach Navarro's second season. The Barnwell grad took over
the program after spending several years as the Lady Falcons' JV coach and
varsity assistant. Flora had enjoyed success over the past seven years, not
losing a region match, but just couldn't get over the hump to make it to the
state championship. That changed this year as they won a program-best twenty-seven
matches, rolled through the regular season, and turned in a dominating
defensive performance in the playoffs. The Lady Falcons didn't allow a goal in
five playoff matches, outscoring their opponents 24-0. Flora finished the
season with a 27-2 record; and

W
hereas, the journey to
winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork,
qualities that always will serve these young women well, both on and off the
soccer field. With admiration, the House recognizes and applauds the
outstanding work of the A.C. Flora High School girls soccer team and wishes its
members much continued success in all their future endeavors. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the
House
of Representatives
:

That the members of the South Carolina
House of Representatives
, by this resolution, salute
the A.C. Flora High School girls soccer team on its scintillating season and
congratulate the team's athletes and coaches on their exciting win of the 2025
Class AAAA State Championship title.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution
be presented to Principal Susan Childs and Head Coach Eric Navarro of A.C.
Flora High School.
