This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives honors the Bleckley County High School boys' cross country team for capturing the 2024 Class 1A/Division 1 State Cross Country Championship, the team's third state title since 2015. The text praises the team's teamwork, resilience, and academic character, and names four All-State runners: Caleb Darsey, Jack Harrell, Harrison Rogers, and Logan Camp, along with Head Coach Shelly Cranford. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states that the House of Representatives congratulates the team and wishes them continued success, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.
