              HONORING THE FORT HILL HIGH SCHOOL SENTINELS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN K. DELANEY

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Mr. DELANEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Fort Hill High 
School football team and Head Coach Todd Appel for winning the Maryland 
Class 1A State Football Championship for the second year in a row on 
Saturday, December 6th.
  The Fort Hill Sentinels finished a second consecutive perfect 14-0 
season with a 40-8 win against Douglass High School. The Sentinels have 
now won back-to-back state championships, their fourth in school 
history. They continued last season's dominance, outscoring their 
opponents 197-64.
  Coach Appel has now compiled an impressive 80-11 record through seven 
seasons. The Sentinels started as the favorite and never looked back, 
sweeping the regular season and playoffs. I want to thank Coach Appel 
and his staff for their leadership, as well as all the student-athletes 
for their hard work and determination to be the best they can be both 
in the classroom and on the field. The Sentinels success over the last 
two years has brought pride to both Fort Hill High School and the local 
community. I also wish the Fort Hill Sentinels the best of luck as they 
look to win their third straight title next season.
  I ask that you and my other distinguished colleagues help me in 
honoring this significant accomplishment.
