CONGRATULATING MICA MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024)] [House] [Pages H6546-H6547] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING MICA MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Ciscomani) for 5 minutes. Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Mica Mountain High School varsity football team for winning the 4A State championship, the first title in the school's history. The fourth-seed Mica Mountain Thunderbolts overcame the odds and beat second-seed Arizona College Prep by a resounding score of 42-13 and capped their perfect 14-0 season with a majestic trophy. The Thunderbolts attacked early and quickly, scoring on each of their opening four drives and leading by a score of 28-7 at halftime. They were led by star running back Josiah Thornwell, who finished the night with 182 yards and four touchdowns. Considering that Mica Mountain only became a school 4\1/2\ years ago, it is remarkable to see how much the students and staff have accomplished in such a short time, setting a strong foundation for future classes to build upon. Moreover, this was Coach Nugent's first championship in his 34 years of coaching. Coach Nugent did a great job. Coach Nugent, all the coaching staff, the players, the administration, the school, the students and everyone who had their hand in this special season made their school and our community extremely proud. This is their victory. They earned it. Go on and enjoy it. Congratulating Micah Powell Mr. CISCOMANI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Micah Powell for an outstanding tenure as mayor of Eloy. Since the day he took office 4 years ago, Micah has been a devoted public servant who cared deeply for the residents of Eloy and dedicated himself to serving his community with genuine passion and a tireless work ethic. During his tenure, Micah focused on bringing more jobs and housing opportunities for the residents and promoting businesses and economic growth. In my time in Congress, I am deeply proud of the strong Federal-local partnership Micah and I forged to benefit our constituents. In FY25, we worked together to initially secure $1 [[Page H6547]] million to repair and revitalize the historic Frontier Street, which serves as the main gateway to downtown Eloy. While Micah's leadership will be missed, his public service will continue to be felt in his community long after his tenure and far into the future. I also congratulate the outgoing and incoming leadership of Eloy. I look forward to working with all of them in advance and our district to continue to look forward and advance our community always. Again, congratulations to my friend Micah. He deserves it. ____________________
