               RECOGNIZING PUEBLO EAST BOYS FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. TIPTON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Pueblo East High 
School football team and their coach, David Ramirez, who claimed their 
first Class 3A football title.
  The Eagles and their opponents, the Rifle Bears, who had an 
impressive 12-win season, both showed great sportsmanship and 
determination in the final game, resulting in a 30-14 victory for the 
Eagles.
  All year long Coach Ramirez and his staff instilled confidence in the 
Eagle team to work hard but most importantly believe in themselves and 
their quest for a championship. With grit and a long tradition of Eagle 
pride, a stellar season was realized in the culmination of a State 
football title. The city of Pueblo is extremely proud of this team. 
Each coach, player, and the staff of this Eagle football team will 
stand tall among the great athletic champions in Pueblo sports history.
  Mr. Speaker, with Coach Ramirez's leadership and the team's hard 
work, Pueblo East captured their first football championship in school 
history while establishing a legacy of dedication and commitment to the 
game. There is no doubt that future Eagle teams will be inspired to do 
the same. We are very proud of them.
