A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE EASTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2019 SOUTH CAROLINA CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.

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. Since 2000, the Eagles have won fourteen state titles and have become the dominant program in Class AAAA after winning multiple championships in AAA; and

Whereas, in addition to winning the state championship, the Eastside wrestling team won the Region II-AAAA Championship, their 27th consecutive region championship. They hold the current state record for most consecutive Region Championships in any sport, in any classification; and

Whereas, the Eagles also won the South Carolina Individual State Wrestling Tournament, with eleven wrestlers placing for a program record. Two-hundred two points were scored in the tournament, which was also a state record; and

Whereas, Coach Jack Kosmicki and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own experience and passion in a sport that demands mental stamina, strength, and individual excellence to forge a championship-caliber team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the mats; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives take great pleasure in recognizing the young athletes of the Eastside High School wrestling team and anticipate with interest learning of their continued praiseworthy achievements. 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 Eastside High School wrestling team, coaches, and school officials for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2019 South Carolina Class AAAA State Championship title.
