                      Thursday, December 20, 2018

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, on December 15, 2018, the 
Valdosta State University Blazers football team secured their fourth 
NCAA Division II Football National Championship in a 49-47 thriller 
over Ferris State University in McKinney, Texas. The Blazers 2018 
season was anything but ordinary, finishing 14-0 and scoring 50+ points 
in eight out of 14 games this season.
  Valdosta, Georgia in Georgia's Eighth District is affectionately 
known as ``Title Town,'' home to football powerhouses in the state and 
across the nation at both the high school and collegiate levels.
  I want to congratulate the Blazers, Coach Kerwin Bell, Valdosta State 
President Richard Carvajal, and the entire football and athletics staff 
at Valdosta State for this accomplishment. Georgia is very proud of 
you, and I hope you will take time to celebrate another title in 
Titletown.
