   CONGRATULATIONS TO GOLDTHWAITE HIGH SCHOOL STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

                                 ______


                           HON. CHET EDWARDS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 18, 1995
  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to recognize a group of 
individuals, a team, whose strive for sportsmanship and fairness in 
scholastic sports have made them champions, not only in their game, but 
in their daily lives as well.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to the Goldthwaite High School 
Eagles of Goldthwaite, TX, who captured the 1994 Class 2A State 
Championship on December 17, 1994 at Memorial Stadium in Austin. 
Exacting revenge on the team that defeated them for the 1992 State 
title, the Eagles defeated the Schulenburg High School Shorthorns, 20-
16, taking their second consecutive State championship and third in 
less than 10 years.
  This achievement could not have been possible if not for the support 
of the student body and parents of Goldthwaite. This victory also, if 
not more so, comes through the dedication of coach Gary Proffitt and 
his staff. They, too, must be congratulated for the role they took in 
shaping the lives of these winners, winners who by accepting this 
victory also accept a responsibility to be victorious throughout their 
lives and give back to their communities.
  I urge my colleagues to join me today in recognizing and honoring the 
players, coaches, students, and parents of Goldthwaite, TX.
