In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Lowndes County High School baseball team, known as the Vikings, for winning the 2024 GHSA 7A State Baseball Championship with a 4-2 victory and finishing the season with a 25-5 record. The resolution praises the team's coach, Ryan Page, for leading back-to-back state championships, and notes that the team included 17 seniors, eight of whom committed to playing college baseball. The House directs its Clerk to prepare an official copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake of the honor.
