            HONORING THE NANTUCKET HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                  _____
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 19, 2011

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Nantucket Whalers 
in my district who represented their communities in the Massachusetts 
Interscholastic Athletic Association's (MIAA) annual Super Bowls. The 
teams from Bourne High School, Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School, 
Duxbury High School, Mashpee High School, and Nantucket High School won 
five of the nine Super Bowls across the State, demonstrating a true 
commitment to excellence in Massachusetts' 10th District. Since 1978 
when the MIAA first regulated athletic events in the Commonwealth, 
these tournaments have highlighted the dedication and discipline of our 
State's high school football teams, and the five teams from the 10th 
Congressional District, who won their division Super Bowls, are 
wonderful examples of the best of high school sports.
  I am certain that the student-athletes on Nantucket's high school 
football team will take the valuable lesson of teamwork they have 
learned and translate it into many successes in the future. This is a 
tremendous achievement for the school, coaches and players, and I 
congratulate them on making everyone in their communities, including 
myself, proud.
  I would like to take a moment to now recognize each of the 
hardworking athletes, their coach, and assistant coaches for their 
achievements both on and off the field:
  From Nantucket High School (by alphabetical order):
  Jake Adams, Oscar Andersen, Keegan Bartlett, Andrew Benson, Victor 
Boucher, Valentino Coleman, Matt Correia, Terrel Correia, Bryan Depass, 
Sam Earle, Hunter
