Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 73 (Monday, April 27, 2026)] [House] [Page H3098] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING UNIVERSITY OF WEST GEORGIA WOLVES MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM (Mr. JACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. JACK. Mr. Speaker, over the past 3 weeks in college basketball, a national champion was crowned, the transfer portal opened and closed, and the 2025-2026 season officially ended. I proudly represent the University of West Georgia. I am a passionate supporter of their basketball program, led by Coach Dave Moore, a natural leader, and his talented staff: Andy Young, Mark Schult, Willie Evans, and Jalen Sasser, and administered by Athletic Director Jason Carmichael and President Dr. Michael Johnson. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a few of the West Georgia Wolves who are leaving next season, having exceeded expectations and built a program poised for future success. Shelton Williams-Dryden was named First Team-All Atlantic Sun, averaging 20.7 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. Josh Smith was named the Atlantic Sun's Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 16.2 points per game. Kolten Griffin averaged 7.7 points per game and set a record for the most games played in the history of the program. Malcolm Noel averaged 8.1 points per game and will graduate after three seasons with the Wolves. Mr. Speaker, the West Georgia Wolves are a source of great inspiration for many across my district, and I am immensely proud to represent them in Congress. ____________________
