                     NY-22 STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

  (Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize three New York 
State Section Four high school teams. This past weekend, for the first 
time since 2019, hundreds of players, coaches, parents, and fans from 
across the great State of New York returned to Syracuse University's 
Carrier Dome to compete for a New York State Public High School 
Athletic Association Football Championship.
  This past Friday, the Class D, 12-win, undefeated Tioga Tigers, led 
by Head Coach Nick Aiello, roared to victory with a 27-0 victory over 
the Moriah Vikings, winning their second State championship in school 
history.
  Saturday's games would bring more fun to New York State's 22nd 
District. First, the fourth-seeded Class C, 12-and-1 Blue Devils of 
Chenango Forks, led by Head Coach David Hogan, played a rematch of 
their 2019 championship game, and again beat the Schuylerville Horses, 
this time with a convincing 21-0 shutout victory.
  And last, but certainly not least, the 13-and-1, Class B, Maine-
Endwell Spartans, led by Head Coach Matt Gallagher, came back from a 
12-7 halftime deficit, to outscore the Pleasantville Panthers 14-0 in 
the second half, winning their first State championship since 2014.
  One State, 27 congressional representatives, five championship 
divisions, and New York State's 22nd district took home the trophies in 
three of four divisions we competed in.
  Congratulations to all teams from the 22nd District.
