  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Shaw 
University Bears football team for winning the 2007 Central 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association, CIAA, Championship, under the 
leadership of head coach Darrell Asberry. After a hard fought season, 
the Bears defeated Virginia Union University in a dazzling double 
overtime performance 31-24 at the Charlotte Memorial Stadium in 
Charlotte, North Carolina, on November 10, 2007.
  Madam Speaker, Shaw University has contributed significantly to the 
growth and development of North Carolina and the enrichment of 
countless of its citizens. I am proud to have the honor of representing 
this outstanding institution. It is fitting that we take a moment today 
to honor these young athletes as shining stars for the university.
