        HONORING THE NORTHERN CAMBRIA LADY COLTS VOLLEYBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 2, 2009

  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and celebrate the 
Northern Cambria Lady Colts volleyball team for their remarkable season 
that ended with a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association 
(PIAA) Class A State Championship title.
  The Lady Colts, who concluded their season with an impressive 26-1 
record, swept the defending champions, Holy Name--25-14, 30-28, and 25-
22 in the championship match on November 14, 2009. The State Champions 
title capped off an extraordinary season, with the Lady Colts also 
winning their 100th consecutive conference match. Additionally, these 
young women also posted their sixth consecutive District VI title as 
the team completed their season without a single conference loss.
  Led by Coach Mike Hogan, the new state champs will be graduating four 
outstanding seniors: Janae Dunchack, Breanna Kochinsky, and cousins 
Arie & Jess Rocco. However, this tight-knit team will have twenty-two 
girls returning next season to follow in the footsteps of their 
leaders.
  I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication that these young 
women from Northern Cambria have displayed. I would like to extend my 
most sincere congratulations to the team, the coaching staff, and their 
fans on a fantastic season. I wish them the best of luck in all of 
their future endeavors.
