                         TRIBUTE TO TOMMY TICE

  (Mr. WOMACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WOMACK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of Arkansas' most 
successful football coaches, Tommy Tice of Huntsville, Arkansas, who 
retires this month after 42 years in coaching and athletic 
administration.
  Coach Tice coached more football games as a head coach than anyone in 
Arkansas history: 454 games. He had a combined record of 288 wins, 160 
losses, and 6 ties, an overall winning percentage of 63 percent.
  He was selected head coach of the Arkansas All-Star football game six 
times. He had a State championship, 13 conference titles, and 19 
playoff appearances.
  An Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inductee in 2016, Coach Tice has been 
a teacher and mentor to dozens of coaches throughout the State of 
Arkansas.
  He is one of my best friends, and I can't think of anyone more 
impactful on student-athletes than Coach Tommy Tice. I congratulate him 
on a remarkable career, and I wish him well in his retirement.
