A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the Savannah Country Day School clay target team in Savannah for winning the 2024 Georgia State Clay Target Championship.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution is a ceremonial honor from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law, spend any money, or create any new rule. Instead, it recognizes the Savannah Country Day School clay target team for its 2024 season, in which the varsity team won the state championship against more than 600 athletes and 49 teams, and the middle school team won its first state title.
The resolution recounts the program's history since 2019, including past individual and team honors, and names Head Coach Eric Haas and team captains Chase Buerger, Dan Bradley, and Miles Carson. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the team, giving them a formal keepsake of the honor.
