    CONGRATULATING DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL ON WINNING THE FOOTBALL STATE

                      Thursday, December 19, 2019

  Mr. ALLEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Dublin 
High School Fighting Irish on winning the Georgia High School 
Association 2A Football State Championship.
  These young men have worked hard all season, and this weekend's big 
win is a result of all their work. While at halftime the Fighting Irish 
were down, they quickly came back in the second half to ultimately 
defeat Brooks County 42 to 32--demonstrating the true meaning of 
perseverance.
  This was a unique win, as not one pass was attempted during the game. 
But the team won after rushing 437 yards, bringing Dublin its first 
state title since 2006.
  I have no doubt this program will continue to be successful in the 
years to come, and I look forward to seeing all these young men will 
accomplish, both on and off the field.
  Congratulations to Coach Roger Holmes, the team, and the entire 
Fighting Irish community.
