                        Wednesday, March 4, 2009

  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the Red Devils 
of Newton-Conover High School for winning the North Carolina state 
football championship. The Red Devils, led by head coach Nick Bazzle, 
met the Tarboro Vikings in the University of North Carolina's Kenan 
Stadium for the state 2A title.-
  Roughly 5,000 fans from Catawba County traveled to Chapel Hill to 
cheer on the Red Devils to the school's first state football 
championship. The hard work and dedication that these young men have 
put into the Newton-Conover football program paid off with an 
impressive 51-28 victory in the title game.
  The enthusiastic support shown by the students, Principal Kevin 
Campbell, and the community has made this football season a historic 
one for Newton-Conover High School. I commend them for their efforts--
and a great victory!
