RESOLUTION

To congratulate the Laurence Manning Academy
Softball Team on its stellar season and to salute its members for capturing the
2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A State Championship.

W
hereas, determined to
defend their 2024 championship and become back-to-back champions, the Laurence
Manning Academy Lady Swampcats played with great determination and spirit in
the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association Class 4A State
Championship series, held on May 15, 2025; and

W
hereas, coming off of
a championship win last season, the Lady Swampcats and their coaches were
determined to keep the momentum going this season. Finishing the regular season
with an impressive record of twenty-four wins and only three losses, the
Laurence Manning Academy players set out with a goal to work together as one to
successfully defend their SCISA 4A State Championship title; and

W
hereas, in the 2025
state championship series, Laurence Manning would battle it out against the
Wilson Hall Barons in a best-two-out-of-three series to determine who would
capture the title, the glory, and the hardware that only champions get to take
home. After easily defeating the Lady Barons in game one with a 5-1 score, the
Lady Swampcats were one game away from defending their title and finishing
their spectacular season by becoming back-to-back state champions; and

W
hereas, game two was a
tough battle, by the top of the second inning, the Barons had a four-run lead,
but the Swampcats played hard, stopping any additional scores and scoring 5
runs throughout the remainder of the game. They finished the game with a 5-4
score, defeating the Barons and becoming Back-to-Back SCISA 4A Softball State
Champions; and

W
hereas, throughout the
season, Head Coach Buddy Truett, assisted by his brilliant coaching staff, George
Kosinski, Lisa Ard, and Amy Marshall, drew upon his own considerable talents
and skills in molding his team members into back-to-back champions; and

W
hereas, the journey to
winning the state title required discipline, dedication, and teamwork,
qualities that will always serve these young women well, both on and off the
field. With admiration, the House recognizes and applauds the fine work of the
Laurence Manning Academy softball team and wishes the members much continued
success in all their future endeavors. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives
,
by this resolution, congratulate the Laurence Manning Academy softball team on its
stellar season and salute its members for capturing the 2025 South Carolina
Independent School Association Class 4A State Championship.
