Last action February 18, 2026 · House Read and Adopted

A Georgia House resolution formally congratulates the Hebron Christian Academy football team for winning the 2026 3A-A Private State Championship and recognizes its players and coach.

In plain language

This is a commemorative resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It honors the Hebron Christian Academy football team for finishing the season with a 12-1 record and beating Calvary Day School 28-21 to win the 2026 3A-A Private State Championship. The resolution names several players and their contributions, including Most Valuable Player Jarvis Mathurin, along with Devon Caldwell, Austin Kitchings, Max Steve, Gray Costello, and Jordan Greene, and credits Head Coach Kenny Dallas for the team's success. The House resolves to congratulate the team and directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for the school.
