                 CONGRATULATING IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS

  (Mr. TAYLOR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAYLOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Ironton 
Fighting Tigers for winning their first football State championship in 
35 years.
  With an incredibly strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence, 
the Ironton High School football team spent all season training and 
working together with one goal in mind: the State title.
  In the championship game, senior Shaun Terry led his team to victory 
with 300 all-purpose yards, including 148 receiving yards and three 
touchdowns. This championship win is evidence of a season full of hard 
work, dedication, and commitment to excellence.
  Since the school's last title in 1989, the Ironton Fighting Tigers 
have appeared in six State title games in pursuit of a win, which made 
bringing home this year's trophy even sweeter.
  Head Coach Trevon Pendleton and his staff poured their knowledge and 
experience into eager players all season long, guiding them and pushing 
them toward excellence on and off the field.
  I also recognize each parent who supported their players and 
encouraged them to work hard. I congratulate each player for their 
hard-earned victory and new State title.
  Congratulations. Go Fighting Tigers.
