WILSON PREP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 11 (Thursday, January 15, 2026)] [House] [Page H908] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] WILSON PREP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, in a thrilling finish, Wilson Prep claimed the 2025 North Carolina High School Athletic Association's 1A Football State championship by defeating Robbinsville 9-8. With just 25 seconds left on the clock and down by 2 points, never having attempted a field goal all season, Ethan Nelson got the call. He got sent and successfully kicked a 28-yard field goal winning the game. Such a remarkable victory marked the Tigers' first State championship title. Senior quarterback and linebacker Travon Usher was the MVP pick. Congratulations to Coach Phil Dickens and the entire Tiger football team. I thank the coach for living by Jeremiah 29:11, drawing inspiration from the Scripture he keeps in his desk and allowing me to tell his story--the Tiger story--to the American people. ____________________
