                        HON. BENNIE G. THOMPSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable team, Leflore County High School (LCHS) football team.
  LCHS football team has had a tremendous football season. They ended 
their 2021 season with an 10-4 record.
  On November 26, 2021, LCHS defeated Charleston High School. 24-22, in 
the North State 2A championship game in Charleston to advance to the 
state title game. On December 4, 2021, the Tigers lost to Scott 
Central, 72-24, in Hattiesburg.
  Despite their loss, Leflore County celebrated them. LCHS is the 
district's only high school to reach the state championship in football 
since the Greenwood and Leflore County districts merged in 2019.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
remarkable Leflore County High School Team for their commitment and 
hard work.
