talented coaching staff utilized their own athletic experience and passion for
the sport to craft a championship-caliber team. The lessons that they have
taught these young athletes will continue to prove invaluable on and off the
mat; and
W
hereas, the members of
the South Carolina House of Representatives value the pride and recognition
that the Latta High School strength and weightlifting athletes have brought to
their school and community. The members look forward to hearing of their future
