                   WEST VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

  (Mr. McKINLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
accomplishments of three West Virginia State football champions, all of 
which are from the First District of West Virginia: Head Coach Josh 
Nicewarner and the Indians of Bridgeport High School on their third 
straight Class AA championship title; and from Magnolia High School, 
Head Coach Josh Sims and the Blue Eagles on their single A championship 
title; and for the first time in school history, Chris Daugherty and 
the Wheeling Park Patriots on the Class AAA championship.
  Now, Mr. Speaker, I am told by my astute research staff that, except 
for States with one Representative, this is the first time in American 
history that all three high school champions have come in a single year 
from one district. So I challenge my esteemed colleagues, Mr. Jenkins 
and Mr. Mooney, from the other districts of West Virginia, to match 
that title next year.
