Memorials, Sports - Emry Jones -
HJR 1049 is a ceremonial resolution honoring Emry Jones, a Smith County High School basketball player, for becoming the first athlete from her school to score over 1,000 points in her high school career. The resolution formally recognizes her achievement (specifically her 1,000th point scored against Cannon County on February 19, 2026) and her role as a community role model. It does not create new laws or affect policies - it is purely a symbolic tribute from the Tennessee General Assembly to celebrate her athletic accomplishments.
