  Mr. CALVERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
a school in my congressional district, St. Margaret's Episcopal School, 
that not only excels in academics but is also distinguished on the 
football field. The St. Margaret's football team won the 2008 
California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Small Schools State 
Championship. In the championship game, St. Margaret's defeated 
Hamilton Union (Hamilton City) 59 to 7.
  The football team is an outstanding example of hard work, 
determination and perseverance. They were undefeated in the 2008 season 
and have earned the title ``Champions.'' The members of the winning 
football team include:
  Team Co-Captains Jeremy Baileys, Alex Brolick, David Mothander, and 
Chase Smith along with teammates John Murayama, Matthew Duenes, Conner 
Edgcomb, Michael Schmall, Austin Holden, Brennan Smith, Kent Iizuka, 
Chris Adams, James Murayama, Travis Anderson, Davis Edwards, JT 
Carpenter, Adam Miyawaki, Justin Oh, Leo Garcia, Jeff Askin, Colfax 
Selby, Alfredo Valencia, Will Findiesen, Connor McClure, Max Carpenter, 
Brett Nicholas and Mack Santora.
  The team is led by Head Coach Harry Welch; Assistants Rod Baltau, 
Chris Colaw, Mark Davidson, Jay Noonan, Mel Taylor, Fr. Reggie Payne-
Wiens, Brent Ward, and Butch Ward; Athletic Trainer Dave Tomlinson; and 
Team Managers Kira Cahill, Anna Maria Carabini, Emily Furman, and 
Valerie Wu.
  It is an honor to represent such a fine group of young people with a 
strong dedication to team work and academics. I know each one of them 
will treasure the memories of their championship season and I commend 
them, and the entire St. Margaret's community, for this truly great 
achievement.
