This resolution recognizes and honors the May River High School wrestling team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2025 Class AAAA State Championship, a historic first for the school in only its ninth year of existence. The Sharks secured their championship through an extraordinary comeback victory against Laurens, overcoming a 24-point deficit in the final matches to win by just one point. The resolution highlights the team's journey, which included defeating several strong opponents like Brookland-Cayce, South Florence, Gilbert, and Aiken, and emphasizes the hard work, commitment, and mental fortitude of the wrestlers, coaches, and families involved. Head Coach Ashley Powell is specifically praised for his leadership and ability to develop athletes both on and off the wrestling mat. The resolution also notes the team's additional achievement of winning the SCWCA (South Carolina Wrestling Coaches Association) Traditional State title two weeks after their state championship. The document concludes by directing that a copy of the resolution be presented to Principal KaRon Webb and Head Coach Ashley Powell, formally acknowledging the team's significant accomplishment and the pride they have brought to their school and community.
