   CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR HIGH SCHOOL VIKINGS ON 
           BECOMING THE ILLINOIS CLASS 6A FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

                                 ______


                           HON. MEL REYNOLDS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Homewood-
Flossmoor High School Vikings, who on Saturday, November 26, 1994, 
became the Illinois class 6A football champions in a thrilling 13-12 
victory. Coach John Wrenn and his outstanding team are to be 
congratulated on this hard-fought, and long-sought victory.
  Mr. Speaker, while watching the game on Saturday, I was struck by the 
sheer will and determination of players such as quarterback Ted 
Reichert, who, although injured, nonetheless threw the game winning 
touchdown pass. Receiver and special teams member Alonzo Moyer caught 
two of Reichert's passes for touchdowns, and blocked a field goal 
attempt. Moyer was named to the first all-class team by the Illinois 
High School Coaches Association. All-State linebacker Chris Havens 
contributed a game-high 14 tackles, while Sean Gregory compiled 86 
yards rushing. They as well as all the other Vikings contributed to 
Saturday's success.
  Homewood-Flossmoor is a special place not only because of its 
achievements on the gridiron, Mr. Speaker. It is a special place 
because of its achievements in the classroom every day. Homewood-
Flossmoor High School educates and develops students academically and 
athletically. They are to be congratulated for their long history of 
success in the classroom and on the field. Homewood-Flossmoor High 
School is a model high school for the Nation.
  Again, my congratulations to Coach Wrenn, and the Homewood-Flossmoor 
Vikings for winning the Illinois class 6A football championship.
