                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVID WU

                               of oregon

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 15, 2000

  Mr. WU. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to three great football 
teams in my district that have taken their respective state titles in 
the Oregon 2A, 3A and 4A divisions. I am pleased to represent the 
athletes, their families and their schools as they make the 2000 high 
school football season one that we will never forget.
  Mr. Speaker, the Jesuit High School Crusaders, located in the heart 
of my district in Beaverton, were able to pull out a 38-28 win over 
North Medford High School. Led by Coach Ken Potter, the Crusaders 
captured their third Division 4A state title. The win came on the backs 
of Jesuit running back K.J. Jackson who rushed for 159 yards and two 
touchdowns, quarterback Mike McGrain, defenseman Mike Hass who had a 52 
yard interception return and kicker John Dailey.
  The Scappoose High School Indians, earned their first Division 3A-
state title with an unbeaten season and a 28-14 win over Pleasant Hill. 
With a sensational defense and a star performance by senior quarter 
Derek Anderson, Scappoose dominated the division and the championship 
game. Coach Scan McNabb should be extremely proud of his team's 
achievement and I am sure that this title will be followed by more in 
the years to come.
  Finally Mr. Speaker, the Amity Warriors, won their third straight 
division 2A-state title

with a 49-15 win over Regis High School. This is the only time an 
Oregon public school has managed to win three straight state 
championships. The Warriors amassed an amazing 583 yards of total 
offense and held Regis to 67 rushing yards. I want to extend my warm 
congratulations to Coach Jeff Flood for another successful year.
  The players, their families, their coaches, and their communities 
have all contributed to this fabulous football season. It is an honor 
and privilege to represent such talented athletes and I with them 
continued success in academics, sports, and their future lives.
