           CONGRATULATING THE LATTA HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. RUSSELL FRY

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 3, 2026

  Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Latta High 
School baseball team on winning the Class A state title in South 
Carolina. This championship marks the program's 10th state title and 
its first since 2018, a tremendous accomplishment that reflects the 
team's determination, resilience, and commitment to excellence.
  The Vikings finished the season with an impressive 27-10 record and 
showed true championship character when it mattered most. After 
trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Latta mounted a 
comeback, highlighted by a go-ahead two-run double from Caden Hyatt. 
Throughout the season, the team benefited from outstanding 
contributions across the roster, including strong performances from 
Darren Alford and David Greer, whose play helped power the Vikings' 
successful run.
  I also want to recognize Head Coach Robbie Brown, Assistant Coach 
Aaron Miles, the players, families, school community, and all those who 
supported the team throughout the season. Their hard work and 
dedication brought great pride to Latta and to the State of South 
Carolina. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Latta 
Vikings on this well-earned championship.
