RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE CHESNEE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
GOLF TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO
CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2025 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AA-A STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

W
hereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the
Chesnee High girls golf team of Spartanburg County captured top honors again to
take home the state trophy from the state golf tournament held at the Chester
Country Club October 28, 2025; and

W
hereas, to the thrill
of their faithful fans, the Chesnee Lady Eagles defeated a competitive field of
rivals, besting their nearest challenger, Atlantic Collegiate Academy, by a
score of 346-349 to win the team's fifth consecutive state title; and

W
hereas, the Chesnee
team knew that the 2025 state title would not be an automatic win. When day one
of the tournament was rained out, the team was forced to play the championship
over one 18-hole day. The Lady Eagles demonstrated exceptional mental toughness
by competing in unfamiliar and challenging conditions, enduring freezing
temperatures and steady rain throughout the day; and

W
hereas, at the end of
the front nine holes, Chesnee trailed Atlantic Collegiate by 14 shots. The Lady
Eagles rallied, and senior Abby Herrington parred three of her last four holes
to give the Lady Eagles a shot; and

W
hereas, coming to the
last hole of the eighteen holes, Chesnee was tied with Atlantic Collegiate, and
eighth-grader Amelia Shields was the only golfer still on the course for the
Lady Eagles. She hit onto the green with a five wood from 160 yards out and
took two putts to sink the ball. The last putt gave Chesnee a three-point lead to
win the championship; and

W
hereas, Chesnee was
led on the course by senior Jada Flynn who shot a personal best score of 71 and
played a huge role in the Lady Eagles' rally as she tallied off three of her
four birdies of the day on the back nine at tenth, eleventh, and fourteenth
holes to finish second in the overall standings; and

W
hereas, Jada Flynn was
joined on the All-State team by fellow senior Abby Herrington and eighth-grader
Amelia Shields who came away with a seventh and eighth place finish after
shooting scores of 88 and 91 respectively; and

W
hereas, the state
match ended the golf careers of three Chesnee seniors who have all led the team
at different points this season and earned their fifth straight state
championship: Jada Flynn, Abby Herrington, and Abigail Watson; and

W
hereas, as the Lady
Eagles head into next year with no returning seniors, the three young golfers
returning, Amelia Shields, along with sophomores Katie Hawk and Alaina
Littlejohn, will have an opportunity to set the bar high for new teammates; and

W
hereas, in a sport
that exacts strategy and measured strength, Head Coach Kyle Scruggs and his
dedicated coaching staff used their own athletic experience and passion to hone
another championship team and teach these athletes life principles that will
endure beyond the greens; and

W
hereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives values the pride and recognition that the
Chesnee golfers have brought to their school and their community. The members anticipate
following the team's continued 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 girls golf
team, coaches, and school officials for an outstanding season and congratulate
them for winning the 2025 South Carolina Class AA-A State Championship title.

B
e it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Steven Fusaro and
Coach Kyle Scruggs.
