HR1084: HR1084 West Forsyth High School Girls Lacrosse Team; winning the 2025 Georgia High School Association Division 3 State Championship; recognize

Last action January 27, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A House resolution honors the West Forsyth High School Girls Lacrosse Team for winning the 2025 Georgia High School Association Division 3 State Championship, the program's first title.

In plain language

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes the West Forsyth High School Girls Lacrosse Team for its 2025 season. The team finished with a 19-2 overall record and defeated the Walton High School Raiders 16-7 on May 16, 2025, at Denmark High School to win the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) Division 3 state championship, the first girls lacrosse title in the school's history. The resolution notes the team had finished as state runner-up in both 2023 and 2024 before winning in 2025. It commends the athletes and coaching staff for their achievement and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare an official copy of the resolution for distribution to the team. It does not change any Georgia law.
