            TRIBUTE TO THE CRUSADERS OF MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN A. BOEHNER

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 29, 2007

  Mr. BOEHNER. Madam Speaker, on March 24, 2007, the Crusaders of 
Moeller High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, won the state basketball 
title, defeating Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School by the score of 
43-40 in the state title match. This is Moeller High School's third 
state basketball title in the past decade.
  Under the guidance of Coach Carl Kremer, the Moeller Crusaders have 
won three state basketball championships--in 1999, 2003, and now in 
2007. The 2007 Crusader basketball team ends its season with a record 
of 25-2, which the school's longtime athletic director, Barry Borman, 
notes is the best record in the history of the Moeller High School 
basketball program.
  As a proud graduate of Moeller High School and a member of the class 
of 1968, I congratulate Coach Kremer, Athletic Director Borman, 
Principal Blaine Collison, and all the faculty, students, and alumni of 
the Moeller Family on this tremendous achievement. I know the 
gentlewoman from Ohio, Representative Schmidt, who represents Moeller 
High School in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District, joins me 
enthusiastically in offering these sentiments.
  Moeller High School has provided a center of learning in the finest 
Marianist tradition for generations of young men from my congressional 
district and the Greater Cincinnati area. A Catholic school, Moeller 
has established a reputation for excellence in academics, athletics, 
faith, and community service, a reputation that is renewed and 
reinforced by this latest achievement.
  On behalf of the United States Congress, I proudly salute Coach 
Kremer, the 2007 Crusader basketball team, and the entire Moeller 
Family for this memorable victory.
