Senate Joint Resolution 742, sponsored by Southerland, is a resolution that honors and congratulates Elijah Valentine, a high school athlete from Gatlinburg-Pittman High School. Mr. Valentine has been named to the All-Region 1-3A second team, recognizing his exceptional skills and accomplishments in football.
