              CONGRATULATING THE RIVER ROUGE FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to give a hearty 
congratulations to our Panthers, the River Rouge High School football 
team on winning their first ever state championship. Thirteenth 
District strong is so incredibly proud.
  In a dramatic game, our 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 our 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 our River Rouge High School football 
team, the Panthers, and Coach Corey Parker for their outstanding 
accomplishment.
  Congratulations, Panthers.
