RESOLUTION

To recognize and honor the Chesnee high school boys
wrestling team, coaches, and school officials for an impressive season and to
congratulate them on winning the South Carolina 2026 Class AA State
Championship Title.

W
hereas, the members of
the South Carolina House of Representatives were pleased to hear that the
Chesnee High School boys wrestling team won the South Carolina 2026 Class AA
State Championship title held at White Knoll High School in Columbia on
Wednesday, February 11, 2026; and

W
hereas, after winning
the Upper State Championship match 34-28 against the Chester High School
Cyclones, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year, the Chesnee
High School Eagles were determined to go all the way and bring home the state championship
title; and

W
hereas, in the SCHSL AA
State Championship match the Eagles dominated their competition, the Edisto
High School Cougars, besting them 70-12 to win the state title. This win was a
true team effort and proved just how all-around talented this team is; and

W
hereas, the Eagles labeled
this their "redemption season," after winning the 2024 state title, but falling
short in the 2025 season. They spent the off season prepping to come back and
win it all this year. The Eagles spent more time practicing and strength
training than ever before, determined to prove themselves. All of that hard
work paid off with an impressive 11-match winning streak that led to their
second state title in three years; and

W
hereas, in a sport
that requires strength and agility, Head Coach Jon Rentz and his talented
coaching staff utilized their own experience and passion for the sport to mold
a championship-caliber team. The lessons that they have taught these young
athletes will continue to shape them on and off the mat; and

W
hereas, the members of
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition
that the Chesnee boys wrestling team have brought to their school and
community. They look forward to hearing of these young athletes future
accomplishments in the days to come. 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, recognize and honor the Chesnee High School boys wrestling
team, coaches, and school officials on winning the South Carolina 2026 Class AA
State Championship title.

e it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Chesnee High School Principal Steven
Fusaro and Head Coach Jon Rentz.
