A Senate resolution formally congratulates the Grayson High School football team for winning the 2024 GHSA Class 6A State Football Championship, its fourth state title.

### Plain-language summary

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Grayson High School football team for finishing the 2024 season with a 14-1 record and winning the GHSA Class 6A State Football Championship, the team's fourth state title.
The resolution praises the team's play, teamwork, and the coaching of Head Coach Santavious Bryant. It formally congratulates the team and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake.

- Recognizes the team's 14-1 season record and its fourth state football championship.
- Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the team.

### Who it affects

The Grayson High School football team, its head coach Santavious Bryant, and the school community are directly named. The resolution has no legal or financial effect on the broader public.
