                 BISHOP GUILFOYLE BRINGS HOME THE TITLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BILL SHUSTER

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 12, 2015

  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Bishop 
Guilfoyle Marauder Football team, who capped off an undefeated season 
beating the Clariton Bears in the Division ``A'' State Championship.
   Led by Coach Wheeler, BG's offense plowed through their opponents, 
posting 715 points this season and while I don't hold it against them, 
it became obvious BG was destined for a championship when I watched 
them defeat my nephew Michael Shuster and the Camp Hill Lions 62-21.
   But the saying is: Defense wins championships.
   And in the final minutes of the PIAA State Championship, the 
Marauder defense dug in and held the goal-line, defending multiple 
Clairton red-zone scoring attempts, securing the Maurader's 1-point 
lead, 19-18 straight to the Title.
   And the character displayed by these young men gave all of us 
another reason to be proud to call Central Pennsylvania home.
   I would also like to give special recognition to the seniors for 
dedicating their time and efforts to a team sport that they love. Many 
of these seniors have played football together since 4th grade, and for 
some of them the State Championship will serve as their last game of 
football, albeit a good note to go out on:
   Berger, B. Chadbourn, McCloskey, Gormley, Kitt, Livoti, Luther, 
Miller, Price, and Wolf.
   And the rest of the team: Hagg, Yasulitis, Coyler, Leamer, Degol, S. 
Donoughe, Little, Kozak, Keating, Irwin, Frederick, Runk, Green, 
Brumbaugh, Yahner, Callahan, Trexler, E. Chadbourn, Luther, Donnelly, 
Trybus, Freidenberger, Conrad, Ramsey, Ferrell, Leamer, P. Donoughe, 
Labroila, Georgiana, Pleva, Wills, Yasulitis, Berish, and Patterson.
   And I would be remiss if I did not mention the Marauder's honorary 
captain, who truly exemplifies the spirit of Bishop Guilfoyle 
Football--Jorden McClure.
   Congratulations to Coach Wheeler, and all of Bishop Guilfoyle for 
bringing home the State Championship.
