                      Wednesday, December 8, 2021

  Mrs. DINGELL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Belleville 
Football Team, the victors of the 2021 MHSAA Division 1 Football State 
Championship. This team's tremendous accomplishment is worthy of 
commendation.
  On November 27, 2021, the Belleville Tigers and Rochester Adams 
Highlanders met at Ford Field in Detroit for the Division 1 
championship game. After being up 21-20 at the half, the Belleville 
Tigers quickly established a divisive lead in the third quarter. In a 
stunning victory, the Belleville Tigers won the state championship and 
defeated Rochester Adams with a score of 55-33.
  In a season that was as challenging as it was rewarding, the Tigers' 
tireless dedication to football and commitment to teamwork paid off 
when they became state champions for the first time in school history. 
These players proved that with hard work and confidence in one's 
teammates, there is no obstacle that is too big to overcome. The 
Belleville Tigers have made our community proud, and we are all excited 
to celebrate this achievement alongside them.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today in honoring the 
Belleville Football Team as they celebrate winning the 2021 state 
championship. Please join me in congratulating the Tigers on a 
fantastic victory and wishing them the best of luck in the years ahead. 
Go Tigers.
