Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 144 (Monday, September 14, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E904] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE HARRISBURG HAVOC WOMEN'S TACKLE FOOTBALL TEAM ______ HON. SCOTT PERRY of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Monday, September 14, 2026 Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize members of the Harrisburg Havoc Women's Tackle Football Team for their participation in the 2026 Women's Football Alliance (WFA) All-American Bowl. On July 25, 2026, the WPA hosted the All-American Bowl at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, where the best of the League's National Conference and American Conference faced off during the WFA ``Championship Weekend.'' Several members of the Havoc were selected to participate in this historic event to represent Pennsylvania on the National stage. Four Havoc players were selected to earn first-team honors: Leah Hutchinson, Kaeli Thomas, Ashley Robinson, and Elizabeth Smith (who is unable to participate due to her attendance at United States Army Basic Training). Earning second-team honors from the Havoc are Angela Deamer, Patience Waters, Samantha Moyer, Bri Swanson, Melissa Fawcett, and Millie Mosley. In addition to the players, Harrisburg Havoc Coach DeQuan Ware also was selected for the WFA All-Pro Team, where he worked alongside coaches from across the United States while proudly representing the Harrisburg Havoc and Pennsylvania in the All-American Bowl. The Havoc's selections to these prestigious positions showcase the dedication and commitment of these athletes on and off the field. These women have spent hours training, mentoring, competing, and serving as positive role models for their fellow teammates and other young women hoping to play at their level. Mr. Speaker, as the sport of women's tackle football continues to grow, I am proud that the 10th Congressional District is home to exceptional athletes who inspire others with their dedication, work ethic, and performance. I am honored to recognize the Harrisburg Havoc Football Team for their valiant efforts and performance in the All- American Bowl and look forward to their future successes. ____________________
