Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the Eastside High School wrestling team of Greenville County took top honors at the state competition held at Airport High School in West Columbia on Saturday, February 9, 2019; and
Whereas, the Eastside Eagles dominated North Myrtle Beach from the beginning to the end to win 66-15 for its fourth consecutive Class AAAA state title and sixth in seven years.
