SR996: SR996 Rock Springs Christian Academy Wrestling Team; congratulate

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes any statute. It recognizes the Rock Springs Christian Academy wrestling team for capturing the 2026 GAPPS (Georgia Association of Private and Parochial Schools) State Wrestling Championship, describing the season as a successful campaign built on teamwork and hard work under coaches Jonathan Bischoff and Jason Valdez. The resolution names the team's roster and formally congratulates the players on behalf of the Senate, wishing them continued success. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team, which is the resolution's only concrete administrative action.

• Formally congratulates the Rock Springs Christian Academy wrestling team on behalf of the Georgia Senate for winning the 2026 GAPPS State Wrestling Championship.
• Names the team's coaches, Jonathan Bischoff and Jason Valdez, and lists the roster of players being honored.
• Directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare and distribute an official copy of the resolution to the team.
• Extends the Senate's best wishes for the team's continued success, with no funding, penalty, or change to Georgia law involved.

The Rock Springs Christian Academy wrestling team, its named players and coaches, and the school itself are directly recognized. The resolution has no legal effect on the broader public, other schools, or state agencies beyond the Secretary of the Senate's distribution task.

This resolution carries symbolic rather than practical weight. It creates an official Senate record honoring the team's achievement and gives the school a keepsake copy, but it does not change any law, allocate funding, or affect anyone outside the team being honored.

• The whereas clauses describe the team's season, its second state championship, and credit the coaches and named players for the achievement.
• The resolved clause has the Senate officially congratulate the team for winning the 2026 GAPPS State Wrestling Championship.
• A further resolved clause directs the Secretary of the Senate to make a copy of the resolution available for distribution to the team.
