                       Thursday, January 11, 2024

  Mr. GOODEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 
extraordinary achievement of the Malakoff Tigers in clinching the 3A 
Division 1 State Football Championship. Their remarkable undefeated 
season, culminating in a 16-0 record, has not only brought home the 
school's first-ever football title but has also showcased the 
exceptional talent and spirit of Henderson County.
  Special congratulations to Head Coach Jamie Driskell, quarterback 
Mike Jones, the Offensive MVP, and middle linebacker Parker Poteete, 
the Defensive MVP, for their outstanding leadership and skill. The 
unwavering dedication and hard work of the entire team and coaching 
staff are inspirational. The Malakoff Tigers have set a high bar for 
excellence, and I eagerly anticipate more triumphs and great success 
for both the team and Malakoff High School in the future.
