“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Hawthorne Hornets on their State championship title in the 2023 Class 1R. With a 22-13 defeat of Madison County, the Hornets took home the top spot in the class. The Hornets' varsity football team won 13 games in their season before going on to the State tournament where they won for a second year in a row. Their coach, Cornelius Ingram, a previous football player for the University of Florida and the NFL, turned the program around for the past few years and has led his student athletes to a series of impressive wins. In the wise words of Vince Lombardi: ``The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.'' These young men gave it their absolute best and have made their high school, their community, and our Congressional District so incredibly proud over these past 2 years. Congratulations to the Hawthorne Hornets and to Coach Ingram for taking home the football State championship. Go Hornets. Bradford High School Football Team”
