                      Thursday, December 15, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Franklin Regional High School Panthers Football team 
for winning the Western Pennsylvanian Interscholastic Athletic League 
(WPIAL) 2005 AAA Championship.
  The Panthers have had an excellent season with a record of 14 wins. 
The team, under the leadership of head coach Greg Botta, have worked 
incredibly hard in the season, and off season, to earn the title of 
WPIAL.
  The Panthers travel to Central Pennsylvania on December 9, 2005 to 
battle the Pottsville Area High School Tide for the AAA State Champion 
title. The game will take place at Hershey Park Stadium at 7 pm.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the Franklin Regional High School Varsity Football 
team. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional District of 
Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute the determined scholar-athletes, 
like the Panthers, and their dedicated coaching staff.
