   HONORING THE SCOTLAND HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM ON ITS 2011 NORTH 
                 CAROLINA 4-A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LARRY KISSELL

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 7, 2011

  Mr. KISSELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Scotland High 
School football team in honor of the school's first-ever North Carolina 
4-A State Football Championship. The Fighting Scots rallied for 35 
points in the second half on their way to a 42-16 victory over a 
talented and determined Porter Ridge High School team, Saturday, Dec. 
3.
  Scotland finished the 2011 season with a perfect 15-0 record, the 
first undefeated season in school history. I congratulate Scotland head 
coach Chip Williams, who in his fourth year leading the program, posted 
an undefeated record, won the Southeastern 4-A Conference title and 
brought home a State Championship to Scotland County, the county's 
first football state championship since 1944, when Laurinburg High 
School captured the Class-A state title.
  Game Most Valuable Player honors were awarded to Scotland quarterback 
Kwashaun Quick, who threw for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the 
second half. Running back Tony McRae, who received offensive MVP 
honors, rushed for 75 yards and two scores. Defensive MVP honors were 
awarded to nose tackle Kris Tyndall. Scotland's superb defense forced 
four Porter Ridge turnovers and allowed just 161 yards of offense.
  I recognize the Scotland County community and congratulate them on 
the success of their team and the support they have given these young 
men throughout the year. In the days following his team's victory, 
Coach Williams has cited the community's support as a driving force 
behind this year's team. It is always great to see a community get 
behind a program that supports and encourages young people and teaches 
them the value of perseverance and teamwork. Before Congress and our 
great nation, I am proud to recognize Coach Williams, his dedicated 
coaching staff and players, and the Scotland County community as a 
whole for their championship season. Thank you.
