   CELEBRATING RIVER ROUGE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL'S STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, December 5, 2019

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to give a hearty 
congratulations to the River Rouge High School Football on winning 
their first-ever state championship.
  In a dramatic game, the River Rouge Panthers prevailed over setbacks 
early on to defeat a formidable opponent. This hard-earned victory is a 
testament to the countless hours of training put in by this dedicated 
team, as well as the support of its coaches and parents. As legendary 
basketball Coach Phil Jackson once said, ``The strength of the team is 
each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.''
  Please join me in recognizing the River Rouge High School football 
team, Coach Corey Parker for this outstanding accomplishment.
