                     HONORING ANTIETAM BOYS SOCCER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2004

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Antietam High 
School Boys Soccer team for winning the Pennsylvania State PIAA Class A 
Boys Soccer Championship.
  The Antietam Mounts played a vigorous game against the Trinity 
Christian Falcons. The game was extremely competitive with both teams 
fighting to win. But in the end, the Mounts pulled out a 4-2 win. This 
win marked their first state title.
  During the championship game, the Mounts were without one of their 
key players, Christopher Dock. Dock, a junior midfielder and a starter 
for the entire season, injured his left knee during Tuesday's semifinal 
win. The Mounts were able to overcome the loss of a key player and 
still turn in a win.
  Today, the Mounts are looking ahead to next season and possibly 
another state championship. However, the team will lose seven seniors, 
including one of the team's highest scorers, Eric Kleiman, who scored 
87 points and several game winning points.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in recognizing 
the players, coaches, and support staff of the Antietam High School 
Boys Soccer team for their drive, determination, and commitment to 
excellence that led them to their first Pennsylvania state title. The 
team is comprised of: Matt Nuding, Ryan Hummel, Tony Furillo, Jared 
Melot, Vince Baro, Corey Hertzog, Austin Lee, Austin Keller, Seth 
Cerra, Kyle Cerra, Shawn Troxel, Mitch Weglos, Adam Cubbler, Maarten 
Koostra, Eric Kleiman, Steve Le, Madison Reece, Dan Pardo, Chris 
Laverty, Tom Talarico, Matt Stauffer, Pete Smith, Adam Kozlowski, Drew 
Gilbert, Eric Shank, Tyler Galczynski, Ian Burke, Joseph Stoltz, Scott 
Kiedeisch, Chris Reed, Coach Milt Scholl, Coach Charlie Weaver, Coach 
Ralph Hertzog, and Managers Abbey Weaver, Jordan Cunningham, and Dayna 
Goheen.
