HR412: HR412 Savannah Country Day School clay target team; winning the 2024 Georgia State Clay Target Championship; commend

Last action February 26, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A House resolution from the Georgia General Assembly formally congratulates the Savannah Country Day School clay target team for winning the 2024 Georgia State Clay Target Championship at both the varsity and middle school levels.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honoring the Savannah Country Day School clay target team. It recognizes the varsity team for winning the 2024 Georgia State Clay Target Championship, competing against more than 600 athletes and 49 high school teams, and the middle school team for winning its first state championship at that level. The resolution lists the team's history since 2019, including past individual and team titles, and names Head Coach Eric Haas and team captains Chase Buerger, Dan Bradley, and Miles Carson. It does not change any Georgia law; it simply expresses the House's congratulations and directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the team.
