Last action March 21, 2025 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the Lowndes County High School baseball team for winning the 2024 GHSA 7A State Baseball Championship.

In plain language

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Lowndes County High School baseball team, known as the Vikings, for winning the 2024 GHSA 7A State Baseball Championship with a 4-2 win in the title game. The resolution highlights the team's 25-5 season record, its 17 seniors (eight of whom committed to play college baseball), and head coach Ryan Page, who led the team to back-to-back state titles. The House formally congratulates the team and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.
