En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Valdosta State University football team's 2024 season, during which the team won the Gulf South Conference Championship for the 11th time, claimed the Super Region Two Title, and advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championship Game for the seventh time in program history. The resolution recounts the team's record (13 wins, one loss), its history of championship appearances, and individual honors such as quarterback Sammy Edwards being named a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the team as a formal keepsake of the recognition.
