CELEBRATING SAVANNAH STATE'S MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM
(Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the tremendous season of the Savannah State University men's basketball team.
The upset-minded Tigers have won their first Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship title since 1981.
Topping off a four-game win streak with a conference championship victory, the Tigers went into the SIAC championship game as the underdog against Benedict College.
This historic team struggled throughout the season, entering the post-season 11-13, but came together as a team and found a way to win when it mattered most.
I am so proud of the team that Head Coach Horace Broadnax has put together at Savannah State University. He is helping these young men unlock their full athletic potential.
The season is not over, as the Tigers are now preparing for their shot at the NCAA Division II National Tournament. This has not been an easy season by any means, but the Tigers have momentum and drive to keep them moving forward.
Gentlemen, good luck in the tournament.
