A house RESOLUTION
to recognize and honor the North
Augusta High School boys basketball team and coaches for a remarkable season
and to congratulate them on winning the 2026 South Carolina High School League
AAAA State Championship.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to
learn that the members of the North Augusta High School boys basketball team
took home their first state title at the 2026 South Carolina High School League
AAAA Championship game held on March 7; and
Whereas, this win marks the first state title for the North Augusta boys
basketball team in school history. They joined the girls team to become the
first school to win both basketball state championships in the same year since
the Keenan Raiders won the AAA titles in the 2019-20 season; and
Whereas, the Yellow Jackets finished the year with a record of 27-3,
winning their final 10 games in a row; and
Whereas, North Augusta started the championship game strong, ending
the first quarter ahead 18-10. The South Pointe team, however, was not going to
be easily beaten. With both teams hustling hard, they finished the first half
tied 23-23. They stayed neck and neck for most of the second half, with Toian
Nabriat getting a rebound shot to tie the game, sending them into overtime.
Nabriat would also send the game into a second overtime after he hit one of two
free throws to once again tie the game. The Yellow Jackets kept the lead the
entire second overtime, besting the South Point Stallions 64-56; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands strength and agility, Head Coach
Tony Harrell and his talented coaching staff utilized their own skill and
passion for the sport to mold a championship-caliber team. The lessons that
they have taught these young athletes will continue to shape them on and off
the court; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives
value the pride and recognition that the North Augusta boys basketball team has
brought to their school and community. They look forward to hearing of their
future achievements in the days to come. 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 North Augusta
High School boys basketball team and coaches for a remarkable season and
congratulate them on winning the 2026 South Carolina High School League AAAA
State Championship.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to
North Augusta Principal Casey Rodgers and Head Coach Tony Harrell.
