 RECOGNIZING THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPION, LONGMEADOW HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL 
                                  TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD E. NEAL

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 14, 2000

  Mr. NEAL of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize the 
unprecedented accomplishments of the 1999 Longmeadow High School 
football team. Longmeadow became the first Western Massachusetts team 
to win three straight titles. The Lancers captured the Division II 
Super Bowl with a 36-21 victory over Shrewsbury.
  Longmeadow could not have asked for a better beginning as they scored 
on all five possessions in the first half. Running back Winston 
McGregor led the way with 162 yards rushing and three touchdowns. 
Quarterback Justin Vincent was impressive with 118 yards passing, and 
the Lancer defense shut out their opponents in the fourth quarter. As 
always, credit must be given to the linemen who gave Vincent the time 
to pick apart the Shrewsbury defense and McGregor the holes through 
which to run.
  Longmeadow Head Coach Alex Rotsko has built an impressive program at 
Longmeadow. The Lancers, having now won three Super Bowls in a row, 
will be the odds on favorite in the coming season. Despite losing 
leaders like McGregor and Ryan McCarthy to graduation, Coach Rotsko 
will have his charges ready to defend their title once more, a 
situation with which the Lancers are intimately familiar.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud and honored to congratulate the 1999 
Longmeadow High School football team. Winning a title once is something 
to be remembered, but winning three in a row is the start of a dynasty. 
I wish Coach Rotsko and his Lancers the best of luck in the 2000 
season, as they return once again to defend their Super Bowl title.
  The Longmeadow High School football team is as follows: Colin Murphy, 
Sam Harris, Lee Cotton, Drew Sheehan, Tim Walsh, Justin Vincent, Tanner 
Williams, Dan McKenna, Mike Haberman, Justin Kent, Winston McGregor, 
Brian Wright, Jason Chew, Rob Shoen, David Singer, Ryan McCarthy, Steve 
Leone, Tom Meehan, Andrew Dikan, Ryan Devine, John Liro-Hudson, Ryan 
Horrigan, Brian Hubbard, Jeremy Stambovsky, Jayson Stambovsky, Ryan 
Foss, John Stewart, Mike Gallant, Brian Harr, Nat Brown, Luke Jenne, 
P.J. Ryan, Brian Askin, Mark Drost, Dan Mandell, Paul Collins, Andy 
Krill, Chris Nuzzo, Dan Richton, Jeff Viamari, Brian Dean, Mike Klein, 
Mike Bazos, Chris Basile, Chris Santa, Kevin Miller, Dan Lewis, Doug 
Hill, Mike Roche, Kevin Berte, Joe Mujalli, Josh Eldridge, Mike 
Viamari, Marcus Gaines, Jason Weinstein, Phil Casper, Josh Kurland, 
Bobby Goodwin, and Dan Morris. The Coaches are: Alex Rotsko, Andy 
Drummy, Nick St. George, James Crawford, Craig Epstein, Doug Cropper, 
Shane Biggins, Mike Tanner, and Devron McCummings.
