SR928: SR928 Greenbrier High School Girls Flag Football Team; congratulate

Last action March 9, 2026 · Senate Read and Adopted

A Georgia Senate resolution formally congratulates the Greenbrier High School girls flag football team for winning the 2025 GHSA Division 2 State Flag Football Championship.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anything in the Georgia Code. It recognizes the Greenbrier High School girls flag football team, called the Wolfpack, for capturing its third consecutive state championship in the 2025 season. The resolution notes the team finished with a 22-3 record, ranked first in Division 2, second among all Georgia divisions, and eighth nationally by MaxPreps, under Head Coach James Smith. The Senate resolves to congratulate the team and wish it continued success, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to the team for distribution.

  • Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to the team.
