  Mr. CONNOLLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Northern 
Virginia Football Hall of Fame (NVFHOF) and to congratulate the 2019 
inductees and scholarship award recipients.

serve our youth well throughout life, including sportsmanship, 
teamwork, honesty, and the work ethic developed by striving for success 
and working to achieve a common goal.
  For 29 years, the NVFHOF has recognized the efforts of players, 
coaches, officials, and cheerleaders from local youth and scholastic 
football programs, and has inducted a few exceptional individuals who 
have made significant contributions to the game. In addition, the 
NVFHOF presents several student-athletes with scholarships to help 
defray the cost of college.
