       RECOGNIZING THE EDEN PRAIRIE BOYS GOLF TEAM ON STATE TITLE

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. ERIK PAULSEN

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 27, 2013

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
the Eden Prairie Boys golf team for winning the 2013 Boys Minnesota 
State High School Golf Championship. Their efforts were nothing short 
of excellent and their victory was earned through hard work and 
commitment.
  The boys team worked hard to improve their skills throughout the 
season. The winning 10-foot putt was sunk by junior Zach Peters, 
allowing the Eagles to win over the defending state champion by a 
single point, truly marking the Eden Prairie team as worthy champions. 
Together, this team has exemplified perseverance and dedication.
  I would also like to commend the coaches for leading this Eagles 
squad to the state title. This is the first time the Eagles have 
secured the state title since their initial championship in 1999, and 
Head Coach Ty Armstrong has promised the team that they can throw him 
into a pond to celebrate.
  It is a noteworthy achievement to win a state championship title, and 
the team members and coaches of the Eden Prairie boy's golf team should 
be proud. They set a great example to fellow students and athletes. 
Congratulations to these student athletes, their parents, and the 
coaches. Go Eagles!
