                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mr. THOMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to recognize the 1993 
football team of Mississippi Delta Community College in Moorhead, MS, 
on winning the National Junior College Athletic Association 
Championship.
  The Mississippi Delta Community College Trojan football team had a 
perfect 11-0 season in 1993 and was ranked as the number one team in 
the Nation for 6 weeks during the regular season. The team averaged 378 
yards in total offense per game and limited opposing teams to 200 yards 
in total offense per game. In addition, the Trojans averaged 32 points 
per game and held opponents to an average of 10 points per game.
  The Trojans also won the State Championship and the Region 13 title 
which is comprised of teams in Mississippi and Louisiana. Many of these 
young men also received numerous individual honors during the regular 
season and the playoff season.
  The 1993 Trojan football team was led by head coach James Gray, 
assistant coaches Jim Southward, Jeff Tatum, Terry Moore, and John 
Withrow and athletic trainer Domino Bellipanni. These men were named 
coaches of the year among coaches in the State community colleges.
  This football team has brought national attention to Mississippi 
Delta Community College and the town of Moorhead, MS. Many of these 
young men excel in the classroom and in their extracurricular and 
community activities. These young men are to be commended for their 
outstanding athletic achievement and contributions to the State and 
Nation.
