                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 28, 2003

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Onondaga 
Senior High School Boy's football team for winning the New York State 
Class C championship title and in the process continuing a 26 game 
winning streak. The Tigers roared in the Carrier Dome, and once again 
brought home a State title.
  This team, with a solid coaching staff and a strong network of fans, 
strove for perfection, and as a result, won their second consecutive 
championship title. The OCS Tigers were Class D championships last 
year, and came out Class C victors this year. They are the only team in 
10 years to win consecutive titles in different classes.
  This team should be truly proud of such a well-deserved victory. The 
strength and dedication they have displayed over the course of their 
football careers and throughout this electrifying season has made their 
school and entire community extremely proud.
  On behalf of the entire 25th District of New York, I would like to 
congratulate the following champions: Hodges Sneed, Andrew Abbott, Ryan 
Hotaling, Justin Graham, Richard Bova, Adam Legg, Don Cummings, Matt 
Popov, Carl Runge, John Manley, Chad Amidon, Ryan Clifford, Dakota 
McCann, Mike Hart, Kyle Martin, Robbie Cormier, Dan Germain, Zach 
Carrington, Zach MacCollister, Brian Beacham, Todd Amidon, Marty 
Brunner, Jacob Cummings, Cory Dill, Richard Beak, Todd Gardner, James 
Sanford, Matthew Majewski, Thomas Brownell, Caleb Golembiewski, Dan 
Willis, Scott Campbell, Pat Neuman, Kurt Wasilewski, Aaron Johnson, 
Steven Tiss, Felipe Diaz, Brad Glaister, Adam Goodman, and Jesse 
Schneider; Coaches Bill Spicer, Paul Taylor, Jeff Pierce, Victor 
Zampetti, and Rick Bailey; Volunteer Coaches Dave Pierce and Steve 
Louis; Managers Jim Barry, Nick Gilbert and Luke Joyce.
