                          HON. STENY H. HOYER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 8, 2003

  Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to offer my 
congratulations to the Lackey High School Chargers football team of 
Indian Head, Maryland, for reaching the State finals this past 
Thursday, December 4, 2003.
  The Lackey Chargers had a fairytale season led by their head coach, 
Mr. Scott Chadwick, and many devoted assistant coaches. In regular 
season matches, they were defeated only once, and this record allowed 
them to begin competing in championship games in early November.
  The path that would lead the Lackey Chargers to the State finals 
began on November 7, 2003, when the Lackey Chargers defeated Westlake 
High School to become the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference 
champions. Their momentum continued on November 15, 2003, as they beat 
Northern High School, and they showed their strength once again on 
November 22, 2003, when they narrowly overtook Westlake High School to 
become the Regional Champions.
  On November 28, 2003, the Lackey Chargers defeated Randallstown High 
School in the Maryland Triple A Semifinals, propelling them to the 
State finals at Ravens Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, where they faced 
Linganor High School. Despite a valiant effort, the Lackey Chargers 
fell short in the end in a heartbreaking loss. Even without carrying 
home the title, Principal Jarvis Petty and the students, staff and 
parents at Lackey High School have shown their support for a football 
team that has made the entire Charles County community proud of their 
incredible season.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing each of these outstanding 
athletes, #2 Cameron Neal; #3 Courteney Knight; #5 Devonte Williams; #6 
Avery Lancaster; #7 Aaron Smith; #8 Michael Young; #10 Damian Shorter; 
#11 Jason Murray; #15 Jesse Hitch; #16 Mark Herbert; #20 Morgan Green; 
#23 Darren Bullock; #25 Brandon Gaylor; #32 Ricardo Young; #34 Tre 
Gray; #40 Bryan Gibbons; #43 Kevin Glascock; #44 Robert Matthews; #48 
Kyle Mckeown; #50 Jeremy Hairston; #52 George Kerr; #55 Mike Seman; #56

and #88 Justin Lucas. They have shown true dedication to their sport 
and I am extremely proud of their accomplishments. It is with great 
pride that we congratulate and wish them luck in all their future 
endeavors.
