                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 20, 2010

  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, I proudly congratulate the Howard 
College Men's basketball team in Big Spring, Texas, for winning the 
NJCAA Division I Men's National Championship in 2010.
  Led by the Division I Coach of the Year, Mark Adams, the Hawks 
finished the 2009-2010 season bringing home a National Championship. 
The championship squad includes Lamont Austin, Moses Sundufu, Dante 
Menter, Prince Obasi, Shaad O'Garro, Josh Watkins, Jordan Kinnear, 
Carlos Emory, Virgil Cissoko, Stefan Tica, Joe Bright, Damion McGee, 
and the Division I Player of the Year, Jae Crowder.
  The Howard College Hawks provided NJCAA basketball fans with a 
memorable comeback in the title game as the Hawks clawed back from a 
nine point deficit with five minutes to play, forcing an overtime 
battle against Three Rivers Community College. The Hawks then never 
trailed, hanging on for the 85-80 victory and the opportunity to be 
called the NJCAA 2010 National Champions.
  I applaud the Hawks' hard work and success. With great support from 
the community, the team proved itself as the best men's basketball team 
in the NJCAA Division I. The Howard College Hawks continue to exemplify 
the principles of competitive spirit and success on and off the court. 
Congratulations, Hawks!
