                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2005

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Northern 
Cambria High School Girls Volleyball team on their PIAA Class A 
volleyball State championship.
  The Colts have demonstrated that strong dedication and teamwork will 
produce unexpected results. After narrowly missing the championship 
last year, the girls united behind their strong coach, Mike Hogan, and 
handily defeated their opponents in the State competition. Posting an 
undefeated season, the Colts also captured the Heritage Conference and 
District VI championships.
  This is Northern Cambria Girls Volleyball first State championship 
title in the school's history, which is a great testimony to the unique 
character of this team. They fought through obstacles and their 
unwillingness to quit led to their success. The teamwork and the 
leadership skills the team developed will enrich their lives and serve 
them well beyond their high school years. I congratulate the Northern 
Cambria Colts on their State championship and I look forward to hearing 
of their continued success in next year's season.
  Led by head coach Mike Hogan and assistant coach Jennifer Dumm, the 
27 members of this championship team include Seniors Ashley Hogan (co-
captain), Jaci Jones (co-captain), Sara Hoover, Jess Valeria, Jen 
Hassen, Shayna Butterworth, Christie Rocco; Juniors Becky Butterworth, 
Julie Paronish, Lexy Pawlowski, Jenny Eagler, Jacque Link, Carrie 
Shevock, Lisa McCombie, Tajia Stephens, Megan Long; Sophomores Briana 
Butterworth, Britteny Daisley, Stephanie Paronish, Courtney Zernick, 
Brittany Sedlock, Nikole Sherry, and Jennifer Valeria; and Freshmen 
Cassandra Kollar, Becky Petrisko, Samantha Rodgers, and Deanna Maurer. 
Congratulations one and all.
