               CONGRATULATING AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL A. ARCURI

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 27, 2007

  Mr. ARCURI. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the Auburn 
Maroons of Auburn High School for making history in winning the Class 
AA New York State Football Championship on November 25, 2006--their 
first-ever Class AA State championship.
  The athletes of Auburn High School in New York's 24th district and 
their coach, Dave Moskov, proved their ability and dedication as they 
brought 10,000 fans to Syracuse University's Carrier Dome, cheering 
them onto victory. In the championship game, the Maroons defeated the 
Monroe-Woodbury Crusaders in overtime by a score of 27-26.
  Having played football at Proctor High School and later, at SUNY-
Albany, I know how much hard work and commitment goes into developing a 
successful football team. I commend these players and Coach Moskov for 
their outstanding efforts. They have certainly made their families, 
their friends, and their community very proud.
  I am honored to have such skilled athletes and committed fans as part 
of my constituency and would once again like to congratulate the 
Maroons on this notable accomplishment.

                          ____________________
