                       Tuesday, December 4, 2007

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Coach John 
Hart and the F.J. Reitz High School Panthers on their 2007 4A Division 
Indiana State football championship. The title is the first state 
championship for the Panthers since 1971 and was a fitting conclusion 
to an outstanding season.
  The Panthers defeated the Lowell High School Red Devils in the 
championship game by a score of 33-14 and capped off an impressive 15-0 
season. Their victory is the culmination of years of hard work, 
dedication and sacrifice. The team and coaching staff have demonstrated 
outstanding talent and an unwavering commitment to achieving their 
goals.
  The Reitz Panthers are shining examples of the idea that success in 
life comes to those who are willing to set goals and work hard to 
achieve them. They are an inspiration to me and everyone in the 
Evansville community who has followed their progress this season.
  Congratulations again to the F.J. Reitz Panthers Football Team for an 
outstanding season. Go Panthers!
