               CONGRATULATIONS OSSEO HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Osseo High 
School football team for winning the Minnesota State title with a tight 
victory over East Ridge in the championship game.
  The Orioles showed heart with close victories in both the semifinals 
and in the title game. With only 24 seconds left on the clock, Osseo 
scored the game-tying touchdown, and the successful extra point gave 
them the victory and State championship.
  Osseo's State run had the entire town buzzing as they sent off the 
team with a parade before the championship game.
  Mr. Speaker, winning a State title is only possible with years of 
dedication and hard work. At the same time, these student athletes must 
focus off the field as well, at the same time, in order to succeed in 
the classroom and make a positive impact in the school community.
  The families, friends, and fans of the players at Osseo High School 
should all be very proud of their fantastic season.
  Congratulations to the Orioles on their successful State 
championship.
