    CONGRATULATING THE BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. HULTGREN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HULTGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Batavia High 
School Bulldogs for winning their first ever Illinois State football 
championship.
  On Saturday, November 30, Batavia faced off against Richards High 
School, which shares the same nickname, in an epic battle of the 
Bulldogs. At NIU's Huskie Stadium in DeKalb, an estimated 12,000 
Batavia fans roared as Micah Coffey, the quarterback, threw for two 
touchdowns and running back Anthony Scaccia ran for three more. Both 
teams fought hard, but Batavia prevailed, capping their virtually 
undefeated season with a 34-14 victory.
  I commend Coach Dennis Piron and the entire Bulldogs team for the 
hard work that went into a strong 13-1 season and the IHSA Class 6A 
State championship. Go Bulldogs.
