Social Circle 2021-2022 Boy’s Varsity Basketball team honored with State Resolution

Despite a great season, right up to the Final Four, the 2021-2022 Social Circle Boys Varsity Basketball team was denied a shot at the Championship by what many believed was an error in scoring against Drew Carter in Final Four play. An appeal was denied, but despite the disappointment the success of the team was heralded by many and the team returned home to Social Circle triumphant after that last game.

The team had already clinched the Regional Championship before heading into the Final Four last month with a record of 30 – 0 for the season whether at home or away and last week they were honored at the state level with Georgia House Resolution 1007. State Rep. Bruce Williamson presented the Resolution to the team Wednesday morning in the Social Circle High School gym with other city and school officials on hand. The words of the Resolution follow.
