                       Tuesday, February 11, 2003

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to the 2002 Calvert High 
School Trojan six-man football team upon winning Calvert's first Texas 
State football title in school history!
  Team members Herbert Kinney, Darius Smith, Chris Ford, Greg Ford, 
Sammy Wells, Deuantay Green, Torre Grimes, Joske Bowen, Tijon Green, 
Brandon Stewart, Brian Ford, Randall Green, Jay Green, Lionel Melton, 
James Ashley, Tranquille Kinney, Corey Gibson, Mario Smith, and 
Dekesselar Ford provided a natural well spring of notable Calvert 
championship athletic talent, the likes of which has not been seen 
since National Baseball Hall of Fame inductees and half-brothers Rube 
and Bill Foster.
  Head Coach and Trojan alumnus Coylin Grimes provided the unflappable 
leadership and football know-how necessary to mold this outstanding 
group of players into an unstoppable force and an unbeaten team (14-0). 
Upon realizing his team's championship ambitions last December way out 
in San Angelo, Coach Grimes remarked, ``This feels great. The kids 
deserved it; the city of Calvert deserved it. It's just a great time to 
be a Calvert Trojan fan.'' You did it, Coach, and we're all proud of 
you and your work in guiding this outstanding group of young and 
talented athletes towards achieving their highest goals for the 2002 
football season. The lessons of determination, concentration, and 
dedication, along with the rewards attending these lessons will not be 
forgotten, and will be shared by every Trojan athlete and scholar for 
all time. We also congratulate assistant coach Randy Boley, team 
managers Kiemon Council, Kasey Burnett, and Javion Council, whose 
dedication to the success of the 2002 Trojan six-man football team 
should also be honored.
  The Trojans scored all 51 of their points in the final half of 2002 
championship play, stunning the Sanderson Eagles who went into the 
locker room at the half up 32-0. The 4,000 football fans on hand at San 
Angelo's Bobcat Stadium were treated to a 50-yard score on the Trojan's 
final possession of the game by playmaker Darius Smith. Darius, who 
finished the game with 206 yards rushing, 88 yards receiving, and five 
touchdowns, caught a short pass on a flare route, broke two tackles, 
and took the ball over the goal line with less than a minute remaining 
in regulation to bring the Championship home to Calvert, 51-46. 
Congratulations to the Calvert High School football team and to their 
fans, friends and families in Calvert, Texas and throughout the 
country!
