“I want to recognize Jackson Brooks for his success in sports. He was chosen to represent Georgia in the Patriot Games.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jackson Brooks for his outstanding athletic accomplishments, which led to his selection to represent Georgia in this year’s Patriot Games. The Patriot Games is an event that brings high school athletes from across the United States, American territories, and Tribal nations in challenges meant to test strength, endurance, agility, and teamwork with games such as dodgeball, tug-of-war, track and field, and kickball. The 17-year-old is a Nike Outdoor Nationals All-American decathlete who finished the year as the number 2 ranked rising junior. Back when Jackson was in middle school, he set an 800-meter State record and was also a part of the GHSA class 5A State championship 4x800 relay team this spring. On top of being a decathlete, Jackson is a very valuable part of the Clarke Central football team where he is a standout wide receiver. Mr. Speaker, I am proud of Jackson--and I know his parents are as well--for representing us in the great State of Georgia.”
