         TRIBUTE TO FULTON-MIDDLETON HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2007

  Mr. CAMP of Michigan. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate and 
pay tribute to the Fulton-Middleton High School football team for 
reaching the Michigan High School Athletic Association 2007 Division 
Eight State Championship Game. It was the team's first finals 
appearance since winning the 1998 State championship.
  The Fulton-Middleton Pirates lost a hard-fought final game to Crystal 
Falls Forrest Park High School. In the defensive battle, they pulled 
within one score of the Crystal Falls Trojans late in the fourth 
quarter, but were unable to get back the ball to attempt a game-tying 
drive. It was the Pirates only loss of the season. On the road to the 
final game, the Pirates defeated Fowler, New Lothrop, Our Lady of the 
Lakes, and Climax-Scotts in the playoffs.
  The Pirates accomplishments pay testament to the years of hard work 
and dedication of these student athletes. I commend them on a 
successful season.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Michigan, I 
congratulate the Fulton-Middleton High School football team on their 
achievements and wish them all the best of luck in their future 
endeavors.
