                   HONORING FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE

  (Mr. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, Florida Southern College is a liberal arts 
college nestled in my hometown of Lakeland, Florida. It is known not 
only as a great academic institution, but also contains the largest 
collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world and was 
recently selected by the Princeton Review as the most beautiful campus 
in the country.
  However, today, I rise to recognize another important distinction for 
Florida Southern College. The Moccasins Men's Basketball Team recently 
captured the 2015 NCAA Division II National Championship.
  On Saturday, March 28, 2015, the Mocs defeated Indiana University of 
Pennsylvania, capping off a remarkable season with a 36-1 record. Led 
by senior guard and two-time Sunshine State Conference Player of the 
Year Kevin Capers of Winter Haven, Florida, the Mocs closed out the 
year by winning a school record 25 consecutive games.

  Growing up in Lakeland, I have watched Florida Southern College 
flourish before my eyes. President Anne Kerr has done a wonderful job 
with this college. It is a tremendous educational institution, and this 
win is a terrific achievement not only for the school, but also the 
community.
  Go Mocs.
