                    CONGRATULATING CLEMENTS RANGERS

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, 1 week ago, the Clements men's soccer team 
left our home Sugar Land, Texas, with a dream. A few days later, they 
came home living their dream. They were the Texas 5A State champions.
  The Rangers were underdogs in the finals. But, behind a raucous 
crowd, and led by Coach Todd Ericson, the Rangers crushed defending 
champion Coppell by a score of 3-0.
  The Rangers started a new tradition. They did something no Ranger 
team had done before: they won State. And they gave me a new tradition, 
because every time they win a championship in the future, I get to 
rearrange the Styrofoam cups in the chain link fence that surrounds 
Clements High School off Elkins Drive.
  Ranger pride is alive and well in Sugar Land, Texas. They are the 
2014 Texas 5A State soccer champions.
