A concurrent RESOLUTION
to recognize and honor the Pinewood Preparatory
school girls competition cheer team, coaches, and school officials for an
extraordinary season and to congratulate them for winning the 2025 south
carolina independent school Association 3A/4A state championship title.
Whereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that on Saturday, November 8,
2025, at Heathwood Hall, the Pinewood Preparatory competition cheer team
captured the 2025 South Carolina Independent School Association 3A/4A State
Championship title; and
Whereas, the Pinewood
Panthers competition cheer team, determined to take home the coveted crown,
left it all on the mat, surpassing the Porter-Gaud Cyclones to capture the
state title; and
Whereas, after more
than two decades of stability and dominance, the Pinewood program entered a new
era this season. Following the retirement of the long-time coaching staff, who
led the team to an extraordinary twelve state championships, a new group
stepped forward to carry on this remarkable legacy; and
Whereas, Head Coach
Veronica Pieretti, a proud Pinewood alumna, assumed leadership of the program alongside
assistant coaches Quincey Pinckney and Jesikah Lawrence. Despite the
transition, the program did not miss a beat. Under their leadership, the team
captured its thirteenth state championship, marking Pinewood's fourth
consecutive state title; and
Whereas, this
achievement stands as a testament not only to the talent and dedication of the
athletes, but also to the seamless transition and strong leadership of the new
coaching staff. Coach Pieretti and her team have continued Pinewood's proud
tradition of excellence, demonstrating that the program's winning culture
remains as strong as ever; and
Whereas, the South
Carolina General Assembly values the pride and recognition that the Pinewood
Preparatory cheerleaders have brought to their school and community, and the
members look forward to following their continued achievements in the years to
come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the
Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize and honor the
Pinewood Preparatory School girls competition cheer team, coaches and school
officials for an extraordinary season and congratulate them for winning the
2025 South Carolina Independent School Association 3A/4A State Championship
title.
Be it further resolved that
a copy of this resolution be presented to Pinewood Preparatory's Head of School
Dr. Daniel Seiden, Athletic Director Tae Hanna, and Head Coach Veronica
Pieretti.
