Congratulating Ironton Fighting Tigers

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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.
