                       Tuesday, February 20, 2024

  Ms. LEGER FERNADEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Bulldogs 
Football Team from Artesia High School in New Mexico. In November 2023, 
the Bulldogs won their 32nd State Football Championship in Class 5A. 
That is unmatched by any other high school in the state of New Mexico. 
In fact, the Artesia Football Program has won more State Football 
Championships than any high school in the nation since 1950.
  To win a state championship takes teamwork, persistence, and 
determination. It's a reflection of the commitment of the school 
leaders, coaches, parents, and everyone in the community. It's a 
reflection of the Bulldogs' players' ability to succeed in their future 
endeavors.

football team forever:
