            CONGRATULATING PROSSER AND OKANOGAN HIGH SCHOOLS

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to congratulate two high 
school football teams that continue to establish central Washington as 
the football powerhouse of Washington State.
  On December 5, the 13-1 Prosser Mustangs rolled over the Tumwater 
Thunderbirds to claim the Washington State 2A high school football 
championship. Led by a stellar defense, the Mustangs amassed four 
interceptions for the third time in the playoffs. This is Prosser's 
fifth State football championship.
  Not to be outdone, the also 13-1 Okanogan High School Bulldogs pulled 
off an amazing nail-biter win, a win you usually only see in the 
movies. Rallying from a 27-14 third quarter deficit, the Bulldogs 
pulled off a late fourth-quarter touchdown to defeat the Napavine 
Tigers 36-34. This was Okanogan's second straight Washington State 2B 
high school football championship.
  Both teams have proudly represented their schools and demonstrated a 
level of skill, teamwork, and tenacity that will prepare them well for 
future seasons and for future success in life.

  Congratulations to both Prosser and Okanogan on well-played seasons.
