   SEALY TIGERS WIN TEXAS CLASS 3A STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

  (Mr. FIELDS of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FIELDS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I have a unique 1-minute in that 
this is a positive 1-minute.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to take a moment today to salute the members of 
the Sealy High School Tigers football team, who recently won the Texas 
class 3A State football championship before a cheering crowd of 12,000 
people in Houston's Astrodome.
  Sealy defeated Atlanta, TX, to win its first State title since 1978. 
When this year's season was complete, Sealy had attained a 16 and 0 
record, the best in school history. While the excellent coaching staff 
and the tenacious players themselves are responsible for this 
outstanding season, news reports indicate that Sealy had a secret 
weapon that its opponents lacked. Before each game, Sealy's football 
team listened to a motivational speech from the movie ``Patton.''
  I am proud of the young men of this football team, and I know you, 
Mr. Speaker, will join with me in saluting the Sealy High School Tigers 
on their Class 3A State football championship title.
