                         Monday, March 31, 2025

  Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor North 
Crowley High School's football team for winning the 2024 Texas' 6A 
Division 1 State Championship. The Panthers dominated in the final, 
amassing 640 yards of total offense and defeating Austin Westlake 50-21 
to cap off a perfect 16-0 season. This victory marked the second state 
championship in program history and the first for the City of Fort 
Worth in 21 years. The team's outstanding performance earned them a 
number three ranking in the Nation.
  North Crowley's excellence was evident throughout the season. They 
began with a victory over nationally ranked DeSoto and later defeated 
Duncanville in the state semifinals Their success extended beyond team 
accomplishments and high-profile matchups, with several standout 
individual performances. Wide receiver Quentin Gibson was named the 
2024 MaxPreps National High School Football Player of the Year and was 
named the Offensive MVP for the championship game. Quarterback Chris 
Jimerson, Jr. and running back Cornelius Warren also had stellar 
seasons and will continue their careers at the Division 1 level next 
year. Additionally, Head Coach Ray Gates was recognized as the 2024 
MaxPreps National High School Football Coach of the Year.
  On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to 
recognize the North Crowley High School Football Team for its 
remarkable season. Their undefeated record and numerous accolades are a 
testament to their dedication, talent, and hard work. Under Coach 
Gates's leadership, I have no doubt this program will continue to 
excel--not just in Texas, but on the national stage.
