                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 1, 2009

  Mr. TIBERI. Madam Speaker, it is with pleasure I congratulate the 
members of the Worthington Christian Boys Soccer team as they recently 
won the Division III State Championship.
  The soccer team finished its remarkable season by beating Cuyahoga 
Valley Christian Academy 2-1 when junior midfielder, Trent Smith scored 
the winning goal in the first overtime. Led by Head Coach Dan Roads, 
the victory reflects his team's outstanding perseverance as they 
rebounded from losing in last year's final to win the 2009 
championship.
  After their winning 2009 season, the school can proudly display their 
second title in four years. With a history like that, I'm sure the 
future is bright for this fine soccer program.
  This team has set a standard for future Worthington Christian 
athletes of all sports to strive toward. Everyone at this fine academic 
institution should be extremely proud of this group of student-
athletes, and I'm proud to congratulate this team and join with them in 
celebrating the history made with their State Championship title.
