In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate honoring the Creekside High School Seminoles football team after their 2025 championship win. The resolution recounts the team's undefeated 15-0 season, a 42-39 victory over Benedictine in the state championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and notes it was the program's first title since 2013 and a state scoring record of 845 points. The resolution formally congratulates the team, head coach Maurice Dixon, and the coaching staff, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team. It does not change any Georgia law; it is a statement of recognition from the Senate.

Why it matters
