RECOGNIZING PASCAGOULA POLICE CHIEF TERRY SCOTT, JR. 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 ] RECOGNIZING PASCAGOULA POLICE CHIEF TERRY SCOTT, JR. (Mr. EZELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. EZELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible accomplishment by one of our own from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Pascagoula Police Chief Terry Scott, Jr. At 60 years old, Terry made history by becoming the oldest heavyweight boxer to win a professional, sanctioned fight, earning a world record in the process. That is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to his grit, discipline, and perseverance. Success like this doesn't come easy. It takes years of hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to your craft. Terry Scott, Jr., has shown what it means to stay focused, push through challenges, and defy expectations. His story is a reminder that determination has no age limit and that it is never too late to chase and achieve something remarkable. South Mississippi is proud of Terry, and I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating him on this historic accomplishment and wishing him continued success. ____________________
