                    CONGRATULATING ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Allen High School in my district for a recent victory on December 22. 
The Allen Eagles won the Texas State Championship with a score of 35-21 
against Houston Lamar. Back in 2008, the Allen Eagles clinched their 
first Class 5A Division I State title, and now in 2012 they've done it 
again.
  After completing their incredible 15-1 season, the Allen Eagles have 
officially been named to the eighth annual MaxPreps Tour of Champions. 
In the past nine seasons, Tom Westerberg, head coach of the Eagles, has 
led his team to two State titles with a record of 102 wins to 16 
losses. It comes as no surprise that he was named 2012 Dallas Area 
Coach of the Year.
  The Allen Eagles are known to be a team with heart, and it's now 
proven they have the heart of a champion. Congratulations, Allen 
Eagles, on a tremendous season. Way to represent the city of Allen and 
continuing the storied tradition of great high school football in north 
Texas. God bless you. I salute you.
