In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It honors the Rock Springs Christian Academy wrestling team for capturing the 2026 GAPPS (Georgia Association of Private and Parochial Schools) State Wrestling Championship, the team's second state title. The resolution praises the team's athletic ability, teamwork, and character, and credits coaches Jonathan Bischoff and Jason Valdez along with a list of named team members. It formally directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a keepsake of the honor.
