A
RESOLUTION
Recognizing
and commending the Grayson High School football team on their 2011 Georgia High
School Association Class AAAAA State Football Championship; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
the Grayson High School football team began playing in 2000, and through
perseverance and iron determination, the team finished a perfect (16-0) season
in 2011 that resulted in their first Georgia High School Association title in
school history after only 12 seasons of competition defeating Walton High School
24-0; and
WHEREAS,
the football program has grown from its modest beginning as a handful of
hard-working players and coaches with little equipment and no practice field
into one of the nation's premier football programs; and
WHEREAS,
Head Coach Mickey Conn, a former South Gwinnett and University of Alabama player
and coach, has been the program's only head coach, compiling a 100-37 record
across 12 seasons and a 60-9 record the past five years at the AAAAA
classification; and
WHEREAS,
Head Coach Conn was named the state Coach of the Year in 2011, and the Grayson
High School football team was ranked number four in the nation in both 2010 and
2011 by pools which consider all classifications throughout the country;
and
WHEREAS,
Grayson High School's football program has drawn the attention of college
football recruiters nation-wide and has placed more than 50 players in college
football programs who have earned athletic grants or scholarships;
and
WHEREAS,
the phenomenal performance of the team is a clear indication of the outstanding
athletic ability, the dedication and hard work, and the unity of purpose and
spirit of each member of the team; their superb offensive and defensive talents;
and the astute direction of Head Coach Mickey Conn; and
WHEREAS,
as this magnificent team earned its well-deserved reputation for excellence by
performing with courage and precision over months of training and competition,
it is abundantly proper to call them champions.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body congratulate the Grayson High School football team for winning the
2011 Georgia High School Association Class AAAAA State Football Championship and
extend their sincerest best wishes for future success.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the Grayson
High School football team.
