Last action January 27, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted
A Senate resolution congratulates the Toombs County High School football team for winning the 2024 GHSA Class A Division 1 State Football Championship.
In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Toombs County High School football team for its 2024 season, in which the team went 13-1 and won its first ever state championship in GHSA Class A Division 1, defeating Northeast High School 38-18. The resolution states the Senate's congratulations and best wishes for the team's continued success, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team. It does not create any new rule, funding, or requirement; it is purely an honorary statement by the chamber.
