     RECOGNIZING NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY'S FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to formally recognize and 
commend North Carolina Central University's football team by 
introducing a resolution congratulating them for winning the 
Historically Black Colleges And Universities National Football 
Championship in the 2022 Celebration Bowl.
  NCCU is located in my district in Durham, North Carolina, and is 
known for its distinguished academic and athletic excellence. It is a 
prime example of the importance and great value of our Nation's HBCUs.
  Under the steadfast leadership of Chancellor Dr. Johnson Akinleye in 
the classroom and Head Coach Trei Oliver on the field, NCCU brought 
home the Black College Football National Title for the fourth time in 
the university's history with Eagle Pride and Eagle Promise.
  I am deeply honored to represent NCCU, and I extend my sincere 
congratulations to the entire team, the coaches, athletic staff, the 
students, and the faculty for this well-deserved victory. Go Eagles.
