             TRIBUTE TO NORTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN K. DELANEY

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 19, 2013

  Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Coach Mike Neubeiser 
and the Northwest High School football team of Germantown, Maryland, 
who won the Maryland Class 4A State football championship on Friday, 
December 6th.
  With a 33-16 victory over Suitland High School, the Northwest Jaguars 
capped off a 12-2 season. This is Northwest's first state football 
championship since 2004 and the first state championship for a 
Montgomery County high school since 2008.
  Even though Coach Neubeiser's team started the season with two loses 
in their first eight games, the Jaguais turned their season around to 
win the state title. This improbable turnaround proves that even when 
faced with adversity, Coach Neubeiser and his staff can inspire these 
young adults to accomplish great things. Thanks to his leadership, 
Northwest student-athletes have exceled both on the field and in the 
classroom. I wish the Northwest Jaguars the best of luck next season as 
they defend their title.
  I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues help me in 
honoring this significant accomplishment.

                          ____________________
