                      Wednesday, January 17, 2007

  Mr. ROSS. Madam Speaker, it is with honor and great pride that I 
recognize and congratulate the Arkansas High School Razorbacks of 
Texarkana, AR, whose outstanding teamwork and dedication on the 
football field earned them a Class 6A Arkansas State Title at War 
Memorial Stadium in Little Rock on November 25, 2006. The Arkansas High 
Razorbacks embody the spirit of teamwork, determination, and all that 
defines a champion.
  As a parent, I value the important lessons that teamwork teaches our 
students in pursuit of a lifetime of success. I have long been an 
advocate of sports and extracurricular activities as they complement 
academic excellence, inspire leadership, and build character, which 
better prepare our state's students to face the challenges of the 21st 
century.
  It is a tremendous honor to congratulate the Arkansas High School 
football program on winning the Class 6A Arkansas State Football 
Championship. I applaud the Arkansas High School Razorbacks for their 
season. This victory is the result of hard work contributed by the 
players, students, coaching staff, faculty and the community. I salute 
all who remained focused on this goal and especially the players who 
rose to the occasion to become State champions. Congratulations 
Razorbacks!
