Choctaw County High School "Chargers" Football Team; commend upon winning first MHSAA Class 3A Championship in school's history.
Summary
House Resolution 22 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Choctaw County High School “Chargers” football team for winning the 2024 Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 3A football championship. The resolution highlights that the title was the school’s first state championship and first North Half championship, and it recounts the team’s 34-27 victory over Noxubee County in the championship game at MM Roberts Stadium on December 5, 2024.
The resolution also celebrates the team’s historic season and individual accomplishments. It notes the Chargers finished 14-1, scored 610 points, amassed more than 5,000 yards of total offense, and set several school records, including quarterback KJ Cork’s passing mark and Jeramiah Miller’s rushing and scoring totals. The resolution further recognizes defensive standouts and the team’s success against rivals, presenting the season as a source of pride for the school, community, and state.
Impact
HR22 does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its legal effect is limited to a formal expression of commendation by the Mississippi House of Representatives and the distribution of the resolution to the team’s coach and the Capitol Press Corps. The measure primarily affects the named school, players, coaches, and community by placing the team’s achievement into the official legislative record.
Sentiment
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is strongly positive and celebratory. The bill text itself is entirely laudatory, emphasizing historic achievement, athletic excellence, and school pride. No votes, committee transcripts, or recorded opposition are provided, and the available context suggests the measure was noncontroversial and adopted as a recognition resolution.
Contention
There is no substantive policy contention in the available materials because the resolution is honorary rather than regulatory. The only potentially debatable elements are the detailed game and season statistics included in the resolution, but these are presented as factual praise rather than points of dispute. No legislators, committees, or outside parties are shown opposing or amending the measure.
