A senate RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE THE Daniel High School Football Team, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS ON AN OUTSTANDING SEASON AND TO HONOR THEM FOR WINNING THE SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS 3A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is proud to recognize the Daniel High School football team for winning the South Carolina Class 3A state championship on December 2, 2023 at Oliver C. Dawson Stadium in Orangeburg; and

Whereas, this historic win gives the team an undefeated season record of 15-0 and marks the program's third state championship in four years and the eighth state championship in Daniel High School's history; and

Whereas, in the championship game, the Daniel High School Lions started off strong thanks to a pair of rushing touchdowns from quarterback Kolton Chapman. After the Camden Bulldogs found their footing, they evened the playing field in the second quarter. Junior Tremaine Davis then gave the Lions a much-needed touchdown to give the Lions a lead; and

Whereas, the Bulldogs pushed the game into overtime, but the Lions gave it their all to put a stop on defense and bring home the championship trophy, defeating Camden by a score of 49-48; and

Whereas, the Daniel High School football team has flourished under the leadership and guidance of Head Coach Jeff Fruster; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate appreciate the pride and recognition that the Daniel High School football team has brought to its school and community and look forward to a future filled with further accomplishments by the team and its talented athletes.  Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate the Daniel High School football team, coaches, and school officials on an outstanding season and honor them for winning the South Carolina Class 3A state championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Daniel High School football team, Coach Jeff Fruster, and Principal Adam Russell.
