                          HON. THOMAS M. DAVIS

                        Friday, February 10, 1995
  Mr. DAVIS. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to rise today to pay tribute 
to the Annandale Atoms, a high school football team in the eleventh 
district of Virginia. The team won its second consecutive State 
football championship in the AAA division, the most competitive in the 
State. This is the first time in the school's history and one of the 
only times in State history that this has happened. The Atoms entered 
the season with a 12-game winning streak and extended that streak to 
26, by winning all 14 games this year.
  Over the years Annandale High School has fielded many teams, and has 
won 2 previous State championships. Annandale also continues to produce 
outstanding graduates with 80 percent going on to college or post 
secondary education. The players on this championship team also have 
additional honors in addition to being State football champions. The 
honors are as follows:

       Patriot District: All District Offense--First Team: Ryan 
     Brooks, TE; Mike Herlands, OT; Maurice Daniels, OG; Jasmin 
     Glenn, RB; and Derrick Crittenden, WR, K.

     Venetsanos, C; Glovannin Santa Ana, RB.
       All District Defense--First Team: Sean Mignona, DB; Britton 
     Clarke, DL; Maurice Daniels, LB; Corey Peterson, LB; Donovan

     Glenn.
       Patriot District Defensive Player of the Year: Maurice 
     Daniels.

     Maurice Daniels, Derrick Crittendon, Sean Mignona.
       Gatorade's Circle of Champions Virginia High School

  Mr. Speaker, the team as a whole has honors that I would also like to 
mention as well:

       No. 1 ranking in Virginia.
       No. 1 ranking in Washington Post.
       No. 5 ranking in ESPN.
       No. 12 ranking U.S.A. Today.
       Twenty-six consecutive game winning streak.

  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues join me in congratulating

coaches Bob Birmingham, Jamie Carayiannis, Billy Edwards, Marshall 
Jefferson, Konrad Molter, Bill Curran, Scott Sadowski, Chuck Hoskins,

Kish, their principle Donald Clause, and their remarkable achievement.
