Whereas, junior wrestler Andre McFadden-Pressley of the Lake City High School wrestling team had a fabulous season in 2022 and crowned it by pinning down the 2022 South Carolina High School League Class AAA Individual State Championship title in the 285-lb. Division. This year, he took it a step higher by carrying off second place at the High School Nationals in his weight class; and
Whereas, sponsored by the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA), the 34th annual High School Nationals wrestling championships took place from March 24 through March 26, 2023, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. NHSCA conducts the High School Nationals and National Duals in the sport of wrestling, these two events being the largest and most prestigious wrestling competitions in the country; and
Whereas, at the High School Nationals, Andre McFadden-Pressley defeated wrestlers from Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, and New York by fall through the first five rounds before losing a decision to a South Dakota grappler in the finals; and
Whereas, with his second-place finish in the nationals, Andre also earned All-American honors. Further, he has been named All-State in both wrestling and football and has been selected as Region Most Valuable Player in wrestling for three years running; and
Whereas, because Andre has achieved considerable recognition in both wrestling and football, he has received offers from a number of colleges and universities. So far, football offers have been extended by Georgia State, Furman University, South Carolina State, Old Dominion University, and Lenoir Rhyne; wrestling offers and interest have come in from Coker University (offer), Allen University (offer), The Citadel (interest), and Army West Point (interest); and
Whereas, fully supporting this fine young athlete in his determination to excel are the members of Lake City's outstanding wrestling staff, Coach Lorenzo McFadden and Coach Kevin Graham; and
Whereas, the members of the House take great pleasure in applauding the success of wrestler Andre McFadden-Pressley and look forward to hearing of his continued accomplishments in the years ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Andre McFadden-Pressley of the Lake City High School wrestling team on a tremendous season and honor him for capturing the 2022 South Carolina High School League Class AAA Individual State Championship title in his weight class and for finishing as first runner-up at the 2023 National High School Coaches Association Wrestling Championships in the 285-lb. Division.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Andre McFadden-Pressley.
