A RESOLUTION
Congratulating the Grayson High School football team for winning the 2024 State Football
Championship; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the Grayson High School football team has established and maintained a proud
tradition of excellence with equal emphases on character and academics; and
WHEREAS, this superlative team has completed another triumphant season of football
competition by posting an outstanding record; and
WHEREAS, excellent play, superior teamwork, and extraordinary resilience made this team
a spectacular one to observe throughout the season, and as a fitting finale to its remarkable
2024 campaign, the team captured its fourth state football championship; and
WHEREAS, the team brought special recognition to its school by winning the 2024 State
Football Championship against Carrollton High School with a final score of 38-24; and
WHEREAS, the phenomenal performance of the team is a clear indication of the outstanding
athletic ability, dedication, hard work, and unity of purpose and spirit of each member of the
team; its superb offensive and defensive talents; and the astute direction of Head Coach
Santavious Bryant, who was ably assisted by Keith Barefield and his offensive staff as well
as Greg Carswell and his defensive staff; and
WHEREAS, as this magnificent team earned its well-deserved reputation for excellence by
performing with courage and precision over months of training and competition, it is
abundantly proper to call them champions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that
the members of this body congratulate the Grayson High School football team for winning
the 2024 State Football Championship and extend best wishes for their continued success.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized

## Summaries written by Georgia Commons

The following was written by claude-sonnet-5 from the text above and is not part of the resolution. Quote the text, not the summary.

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the Grayson High School football team for winning the 2024 State Football Championship and directs a copy be sent to the team.

### Plain-language summary

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Grayson High School football team for defeating Carrollton High School 38-24 to win the 2024 State Football Championship, the team's fourth title.
The resolution praises the team's coaching staff, including Head Coach Santavious Bryant and his assistants, and the players' teamwork and dedication. It resolves that House members congratulate the team and wish them continued success, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.

### What it does

- Formally congratulates the Grayson High School football team on winning the 2024 State Football Championship.
- States the final score of the championship game as 38-24 over Carrollton High School.
- Names and praises Head Coach Santavious Bryant and assistant coaches Keith Barefield and Greg Carswell.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team.

### Who it affects

The Grayson High School football team, its head coach and assistant coaches, and the school community are directly named. The resolution also involves the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who must prepare and distribute a copy.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or financial effect; it is a symbolic honor. Its practical impact is limited to public recognition of the team's championship win and a commemorative document given to the school.

### Key provisions

- The whereas clauses recount the team's season, its fourth state championship, and the 38-24 win over Carrollton High School.
- The resolved clause has the House congratulate the team and wish them continued success.
