Last action February 28, 2025 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution congratulates the Lowndes County High School baseball team for winning the 2024 GHSA 7A State Baseball Championship, its second consecutive state title.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia Senate honors the Lowndes County High School baseball team for capturing the 2024 GHSA 7A State Baseball Championship with a 4-2 win.

It formally states the Senate's congratulations and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team, serving as a ceremonial recognition rather than a policy action.
