                      Wednesday, February 14, 2007

  Mr. LAMPSON. Madam Speaker, when we think of football in Texas, and 
especially Galveston County, we think of La Marque High School. 
Following a 15-1 season, the La Marque Cougars met the Waco Lions at 
the Alamodome in San Antonio, and claimed their fifth state 
championship on December 22, 2006.
  The Coog's victory was impressive, with La Marque scoring 20 points 
in the last quarter to break a tie and bring the championship back home 
to a proud and dedicated community.
  This exemplary and dedicated group of young men and their coaches, 
backed by the entire school, continues a proud legacy of winning. Their 
hard work and dedication brings pride in our entire community. I am 
honored to represent the Cougars, and La Marque, where football reigns.
  It is a privilege to honor the La Marque High School Cougars for 
recapturing the Class 4A Division II State Football Championship, and I 
ask that we submit congratulations from the 110th Congress into the 
record.
