In plain language
This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Pierce County girls golf team, its coaches, and its players for winning the GHSA Girls Golf AA State Championship for the third year in a row. The resolution names Head Coach Stuart Stipe, Assistant Coach Kim Spivey, and team members Mackenzie Connell, Mollie Kate Dixon, Chloe Lynn, Belle Sinclair, and Lily Spivey. It notes that Connell and Spivey made the GHSA AA All-State team and that Stipe was named GHSA/NFHS Girls Golf Coach of the Year. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for the team as a keepsake.
