Harding Bisons celebrate football National Championship at White House

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The week is off to a great start for the Harding Bisons football team who celebrated as some of the national champions went to the White House.

Monday was the White House College Champions Day and Vice President Kamala Harris stepped in for President Joe Biden as the president is still out with COVID.

“In America, tens of millions of people play a sport as a child and the best of the best grow up to become national champions. Here today we have seven undefeated teams, eleven repeat champions, and 20 first time winners,” Harris stated.

The event honored the NCAA’s 90 national champions from the last school year. Harding earned the honors with a 38-7 win over the Colorado School of Mines in December, capping off an undefeated season.

As part of the Bisons’ celebration, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum officially unveiled limited-edition bobbleheads of the team’s mascot.
