                             TRENTON TIGERS

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Trenton 
Tigers on winning Florida's 1A State football championship. This 
talented group of young men ended the season a perfect 14-0 and broke 
the State record for ``running clocks'' on all 10 regular-season 
opponents. This is a feat that has never been done before. Trenton 
soundly defeated Port St. Joe 56-21. This gives the Tigers their second 
championship in just 3 years.
  An impressive achievement like this cannot be accomplished without 
hard work and dedication: the hard work of a two-a-day practice 
schedule, the hard work of each individual team member playing as one 
for a common goal, and the hard work of a talented coaching staff to 
guide the team to victory.
  I also want to congratulate Coach Andrew Thomas and his staff for 
doing an exceptional job coaching these young men. Coach Thomas' 
leadership has not gone unnoticed. He has recently been named the Class 
1A Coach of the Year by the Florida Dairy Farmers.
  Coach Thomas, thanks for carrying on your great winning tradition and 
continuing to make the town of Trenton, Florida, and Gilchrist County 
proud of our young athletes.
