          PENN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL 1995 AAAA FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS

                                 ______


                         HON. MICHAEL F. DOYLE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 1995

  Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate the Penn Hills High 
School Indians who won the 1995 Pennsylvania AAAA Varsity Football 
Championship. This past Saturday, December 9, at Altoona's Mansion Park 
Stadium, they defeated Lower Dauphin High School by a score of 35 to 
14. The team was undefeated, 15 and 0, this season and this is the 
first time in history that this high school football team, which is 
located in the 18th Congressional District in western Pennsylvania, won 
the State championship.
  Not to take sides between last year's champions, the McKeesport High 
School football team, also in my district, but what makes this 
championship especially important is that USA Today ranks the Penn 
Hills team as the No. 5 high school football team in the United States.
  Congratulations to the players, the coaching staff, the supportive 
student body and families, and the Penn Hills community. I share your 
pride and claim the appropriate bragging rights on Capitol Hill. Keep 
up the team spirit and the motivation to succeed.
