  Mr. MARCHANT. Madam Speaker. I rise today to recognize the 
exceptional achievement of the Coppell High School Girls soccer team: 
2009 Class 5A State Champions of Texas. The Coppell Cowgirls completed 
their historic title run with a victory over the nation's previously 
top-ranked team and a dramatic 3-2 victory over The Woodlands in the 
state championship game.
  Winning a state title is a remarkable accomplishment. It takes many 
crucial components working together to achieve this level of success. 
The 2009 Class 5A Girls Soccer State Champions of Texas, the Coppell 
High School Cowgirls, include: Kailey Hicks; Tannah Deloach; Katie 
Bass; Laura Sadler (Captain); Lauren Johnson; Alyssa Diggs (Captain); 
Sydney Frazier (Captain); Spayne Avant; Dominique Dinka; Chioma 
Ubogagu; Brittany Redus; Amina Radoncic; Allison Guderian; Danielle 
Herubin; Kristen Hart; Christina Baker; Erin Barlow; Haley Powers; 
Rebekah Henderson; Rachel Henderson; Cara Manning (Captain); Tori Van 
Riper; Whitney Borstad; Lauren Scott; Maddie Peter; Jessica Berdan; 
Bear Bass; Lindsey Meyer; Arielle Ghoston (manager); Arresha Robinson; 
Yvette Carson; Kristen Hester (trainers); Michelle Mcalister; Justin 
Heller; Tito Schwabe (assistant coaches); John Crawford (athletic 
director); Sherri Hankins (athletic coordinator); and the head coach, 
Chris Stricker. Educators, teachers, school officials, families and 
friends also deserve significant praise for their efforts in supporting 
the Cowgirls.
  The state title earned by the Cowgirls has brought great pride to the 
school and community. On behalf of the 24th Congressional District of 
Texas, congratulations to the entire team and coaching staff and best 
of luck in all of your future endeavors.
