In plain language

This is a commendation resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a law that changes any rules or funding. It recognizes the Denmark High School boys cross country team for capturing the 2024 GHSA (Georgia High School Association) Class 6A State Cross Country Championship, crediting the team's performance, teamwork, and the leadership of Head Coach Andrew Hudson. The resolution names the team's members, including seniors, a junior, sophomores, and freshmen, and states the House's congratulations and best wishes for continued success. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team, so the players and coach have a formal record of the honor.
