A RESOLUTION
Congratulating the Fannin County Lady Rebels basketball team for winning the 2025 GHSA
Class A Division I State Basketball Championship; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS, the Fannin County Lady Rebels basketball team has established and maintained
a proud tradition of excellence with equal emphases on character and academics; and
WHEREAS, the team brought special recognition to its school and to Fannin County by
winning the 2025 GHSA Class A Division I State Basketball Championship against the
Banks County Lady Leopards with a final score of 51-42; and
WHEREAS, the Lady Rebels secured their victory through exceptional execution and
disciplined control, overcoming a strong defensive press from their opponents while turning
key stops into scoring opportunities; and
WHEREAS, standout performances included crucial contributions from Maggie Ledford,
Izzie Jabaley, and Reese Lewis, whose early fourth-quarter offensive surge helped propel the
Lady Rebels to victory, as well as tremendous defensive efforts from Avi Ethington, Callie
Ensley, Emma Buchanan, Emma Holloway, and Albany Cole, which limited Banks County's
top scorers well below their season average; 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 demonstrated by each
team member as well as the astute direction of Head Coach Ryan Chastain; 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 Fannin County Lady Rebels basketball team for
winning the 2025 GHSA Class A Division I State Basketball Championship and extend best
wishes for their continued success.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to make an appropriate copy of this resolution available for distribution to the
Fannin County Lady Rebels basketball team.
