  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Webster 
Schroeder High School Men's Varsity Football Team for winning the Class 
AA New York State Football Championship and for their outstanding 
efforts throughout this past season.

came together this season to capture the New York State Title, 28-7 
against the Shenendehowa High School Football Team. The Webster 
Warriors, ranked eighth in Eastern Region Football, have continued 
their 19 game winning streak, the third longest in the state, with a 
perfect 13-0 season.

themselves as fierce competitors in AA Football. The team has stayed 
focused on its goals and has not let anyone stand in its way towards 
reigning at the top of the division.

honor to congratulate the Webster Schroeder High School Football Team 
and their coaching staff on their Class AA State Football Championship.
