Mr. Speaker, I rise with a heart full of pride as we celebrate the remarkable achievement of our very own Port Neches- Groves football team for winning the 2023 5A State championship, the first State football title in 48 years. They have made Texas-14 proud. I congratulate each of the football players. They displayed unwavering grit and Texas determination throughout the season, overcoming challenges with resilience that led to a State champ title. I congratulate Coach Jeff Joseph and the entire coaching staff for instilling discipline, strategy, and a winning mindset in every player. I thank the students, faculty, and fans for representing our community with absolute honor and pride. This victory is not just for PN-G but for all of southeast Texas. I congratulate the Indians. They deserve it. God bless the Port Neches-Groves Indians, and God bless Texas. ____________________
