             RECOGNIZING THE PENNDEL WILDCATS FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. MICHAEL G. FITZPATRICK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 13, 2014

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach 
Vince Lombardi once noted, ``Football is a great deal like life in that 
it teaches that work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, 
selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every 
one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.''
  The gridiron is a place of winning and losing, learning and growing--
the same in the pros as in local leagues across our nation.
  For the Penndel Wildcats 145lbs team, their time together under the 
coaching eye of Joe Erb has been as much about football as it has been 
about life.
  On Saturday, November 1, the team will play their final game--closing 
out years of work, dedication, friendship and success. While football 
might not be in each player's future, there is no doubt that their time 
spent together has helped shape their coming years for the better.
  Best of luck to each member of the Penndel Wildcats and their 
coaching staff--both on the field and in their futures.
