HR622: HR622 Maloof, Coach Keith; retirement; commend

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It recognizes Coach Keith Maloof, who coached football for more than 40 years and served as head coach for 29 seasons, including 26 seasons leading Norcross High School's team from 1999 to 2024. The resolution highlights his overall coaching record of 232-103, his status as the winningest head coach in Gwinnett County history, and the NFL players he mentored, including Alvin Kamara and Lorenzo Carter. It also notes his 2023 Atlanta Falcons Coach of the Year honor. The House resolves to commend Maloof on his retirement and directs the Clerk of the House to provide him with a copy of the resolution.
