                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 26, 2002

  Mr. COMBEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise to join Midland and Permian Basin in 
congratulating the Midland Christian School football team in their 
great victory in the Class 4A state championship title in the Texas 
Association of Private and Parochial Schools. Their November victory 
over Denton Liberty Christian is an accomplishment that is truly 
deserving of recognition and praise.
  The Midland Christian School football program has been built upon a 
solid foundation of hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship. The 
Mustangs have shown what today's youth can accomplish when teamwork and 
determination are applied. They will forever hold a place of honor in 
the pages of Texas athletics.
  It is with great pride that I recognize the members of the Midland 
Christian School football team and their coach Greg McClendon for this 
accomplishment. I would also like to recognize the administration and 
fans that carried them through to victory. Thanks to their tremendous 
efforts, Midland, TX, is now home to the 2001-2002 Class 4A State 
Champions for the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools. I 
congratulate the Midland Christian Mustangs for brining home a state 
football title.
