            RECOGNIZING THE HAYTI HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 22, 2019

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Hayti R-II High School football team for winning the Class 1 State 
Championship on December 1st, 2018, the first football state 
championship in the school's history. Even more remarkable, it will be 
the first ever football state title brought home to Missouri's 
Bootheel.
   Dominique Robinson, Class 1 Coach of the Year, led the Hayti Indians 
to a 15-win, undefeated season, outscoring opponents by an 
unprecedented 838-80 on the year. Coach Robinson could not have asked 
for a more talent laden team, comprised of eight All-State players, 
including Tylor Wooden, Louis Wright, Jason Weatherspoon, Nakwon 
Harris, Chrivontae Moore, Kevin Luster, Eddie Wooden, and Damorri Reed, 
in addition to the Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, Ivory 
Winters and Adreian Stevenson.
   The Indians swept through the postseason on their way to a 44-0 win 
over Lincoln High School in the championship game, capping the historic 
run. Their success is a testament to the hard work and preparation the 
coaches and players put in during the preseason and throughout the 
year.
   On behalf of the Eighth Congressional District of Missouri, it is my 
great privilege to congratulate the Hayti High School football team on 
their historic achievement. We look forward to their continued 
successes. Go Indians.
