                       Wednesday, January 8, 2014

  Mr. MURPHY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize William 
T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida for their victory 
in the 7A State title game. In a well contested battle at the Citrus 
Bowl in Orlando, the Dwyer Panthers defeated Niceville High School 55-
39 to win their second State football championship.
  Panther's coach Jack Daniels took his team to the title game with a 
perfect 15-0 record, the school's first undefeated season. After 15 
consecutive playoff appearances, Dwyer High School can now call 
themselves repeat State champions in football, and I am honored to 
recognize them today.
  Throughout the football season, these student-athletes balanced the 
pressures of both academics and football. As student-athletes across 
the country, myself included, can tell you, this is a challenge that 
tests one's patience and perseverance, and I commend the team for their 
successes in the classroom as well as on the field.
  The Dwyer Panthers handled themselves with class in front of 
thousands of fans on a big stage. I hope all of the players, faculty, 
and parents who showed their support continue to enjoy the school's 
rank of 2013-2014 7A football champions for the State of Florida. I 
wish all of the graduating seniors the best in their future academic 
and athletic endeavors. To those returning next season, continue to 
work hard and take pride in everything you do. Congratulations again to 
the 2013-2014 Dwyer Panthers.
