                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. LEONARD L. BOSWELL

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2006

  Mr. BOSWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Southeast Polk 
High School's football team, which made a run for the Class 4-A Iowa 
State Football Championship. With an 11-2 record for the season, this 
football team placed second in the State championship. This was the 
first time the Rams had ever advanced to the State championship. All of 
central Iowa is very proud of the team's achievement.
  In addition to this achievement, four young men on the team received 
the First Team All State Honors while the head coach, Denny Muller, was 
named Coach of the Year in the Central Conference.
  As Vince Lombardi once said about teamwork: ``The achievements of an 
organization are the results of the combined effort of each 
individual.'' This great season was undoubtedly the result of tireless 
dedication by the coaches and the players.
  Congratulations go to each member of the team, the coaches, the 
managers and the cheerleaders for an outstanding football season:
