  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lake Dallas High 
School who will be celebrating their 50th football season this year. 
The Fighting Falcons have played 494 games in their illustrious time 
with a winning record of 260-226-8. They have appeared in the playoffs 
18 times throughout their victorious history.
  I am proud to say that in 2002, Lake Dallas introduced a new football 
facility in Corinth that now holds 6,000 spectators. In 2008, Lake 
Dallas and Sherman scored 115 points in one game to tie a state record.
  Impressively, the Fighting Falcons have also had notable college and 
NFL players. These include Dusty Dvoracek, James Franklin, Justin Hill, 
Graysen Schantz, Chase Baine, Daryl Williams, Dontonio Jordan, and 
Dalyn Williams.

  On behalf of the 26th Congressional District, I offer my sincere 
congratulations to the Lake Dallas High School Fighting Falcons on 
their 50 years of teamwork, success and greatness. I wish them a bright 
future.
