                      Wednesday, February 4, 1998

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
accomplishments of a dedicated group of young men who worked together 
in the true spirit of sportsmanship to achieve a long-awaited goal.
  The group is the White House High School Blue Devils football team of 
White House, Tennessee, and that goal was winning the state 3-A 
championship game. Their hard-fought victory, and the hard-work and 
dedication they demonstrated throughout the year will not go unnoticed.
  After all, they were honored as Region 4 Champions, 3-A State 
Champions and had a perfect 15-0 record. The team also had 5 Associated 
Press All State players, 2 Tennessee Sportswriters All-State players 
and 8 All Region 1st team members.
  These men of White House High School trained vigorously, played 
tirelessly, and deserve recognition for a job well done.
  I congratulate each member of the team, their Head Coach, Jeff 
Porter, and all the assistant coaches, managers, school administrators 
and all other support staff. I know they won't soon forget this 
milestone, and those that are still to come.
  The players are true champions: Jarod Jullierat, Corey Coker, Joey 
Rodgers, Jim Smith, J.R. Carroll, Andy Tucker, Ryan Sherrill, James 
Harper, Chris Barnes, Rudy Farmer, Brock Waggoner, Brian Whittaker, 
Josh Lanius, Jonathan Finch,, Josh Barton, Chuckie Jarrett, Clint Ruth,
