         RECOGNIZING THE IRWIN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. AUSTIN SCOTT

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 19, 2019

  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Irwin County High School football team from Ocilla, 
Georgia on their win against Marion County in the Class A Georgia State 
Championship on Saturday, December 14, 2019.
   With an impressive 56-14 win over the Marion County Eagles, the 
Indians football team finished their season undefeated (13-0) for the 
first time since 1975 and brought home the state title. This is the 
fifth time in six seasons that Head Coach Buddy Nobles has led the 
Indians to the state finals, all while battling Stage 4 stomach cancer. 
He called this team a ``team of destiny'' and there is no doubt his 
leadership and fighting spirit inspired Irwin County to bring home 
another state football title to Georgia's Eighth Congressional 
District.
   I want to congratulate the Indians, Coach Nobles, and the entire 
football and athletics staff at Irwin County High School for this 
accomplishment.
