A house RESOLUTION

 

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE BOILING SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL MALE AND FEMALE STRENGTH TEAMS FOR A STELLAR SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THESE OUTSTANDING ATHLETES ON WINNING THEIR RESPECTIVE 2025 CLASS AAAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that Boiling Springs High School produced two championship teams at the 2025 Class AAAAA state strength tournament when both the Boiling Springs male strength team and its female strength team made it all the way to the top of the mountain, both of them for the first time ever in school history; and

 

Whereas, a throng of excited Boiling Springs fans packed into the scene of the action to watch the school's strength teams prove their mettle. The results? It was the first time in SCHSSCA history that any school had won the male and female events in the same year, and the Dawgs did it!; and

 

Whereas, at this year's championship, three individual male state champions, Kai Lee (140 class), Gavin Calhoun (205 class), and Collin Johnson (235 class), showed out above and beyond the rest of their competition. In addition to these individual state champions, the male team racked up thirteen All-State placers and won the competition by 28 points. Female team members enlarged an already enviable reputation by turning out seven All-State placers and breaking four state records on their road to victory; and

 

Whereas, over the course of the season, Head Coach Chancen Blackwood, ably supported by a team of exceptional assistant coaches, delivered the incredible training that brought to the Dawgs brand-new hardware only champions get to take home. Coach Blackwood, who is also Boiling Springs' head coach for athletic performance, recently was named 2025 South Carolina Strength Coach of the Year by the National High School Strength Coaches Association, as well as both 5A and SCACA Strength Coach of the Year; and

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition the members of the Boiling Springs strength teams have brought to their school and community, and the members look forward to following their continued achievements in the days ahead. Go, Dawgs! Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the Boiling Springs High School male and female strength teams for a stellar season and congratulate these outstanding athletes on winning their respective 2025 Class AAAAA State Championship titles.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Zach McQuigg and Head Coach Chancen Blackwood of Boiling Springs High School.
