 EXPRESSING CONGRATULATIONS TO GLENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM ON 
                          HISTORIC 2009 SEASON

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MARCIA L. FUDGE

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 9, 2009

  Ms. FUDGE. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Glenville High 
School football team on its historic season. This Division I team 
became the first Cleveland Public School to compete for the state 
championship last Saturday.
  While track icon Jesse Owens and the creators of Superman were 
products of Glenville, it has never had a state football champion.
  This year's players are champions in every sense of the word. They 
play football at Glenville High School for the structure that football 
provides and the mentorship of their coach, Ted Ginn, Sr.
  More than 100 of Ginn's players have earned athletic scholarships. 
Five play in the NFL.
  Glenville played valiantly in the state championship, but lost by one 
point
  Again, I congratulate the Glenville High football team, students, 
Coach Ginn, his assistant coaches, our supportive community, and 
Glenville Principal Jacqueline Bell on an amazing season. Next year 
they will bring home the trophy!
