  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Marian 
High School Knights for their victory in the IHSAA Class IA Boys Soccer 
State Championship for the second year in a row. Through diligence and 
perseverance, the Knights finished the season with eighteen wins and 
five losses. The championship game was the team's second appearance in 
the state finals and their second state title in as many years.
  I would like to highlight the many players who were honored for their 
performance in the tournament. Seniors Max Frausto and Cristian Juarez, 
and junior Oscar Tavarez were named to the Northern Indiana 
Conference's First Team, juniors Johnathan Tavarez and lead scorer 
Jordan Morris were named to the NIC's Second Team, and freshman Ned 
Morrison received Honorable Mention. Just as importantly, junior keeper 
Hunter Renner managed to allow only ten goals while completing thirty-
one saves and achieving nine shutouts for the season. In tandem with 
senior keeper Michael Cataldo who managed ten shutouts, the Knights 
were one of the hardest teams to score against.
  Coach Ben Householter again deserves praise on this victory, which is 
not only a testament to his dedication to the Marian High School 
program but also his skill as team leader and mentor to the student 
athletes.
  Congratulations to the entire team for their contributions: seniors 
Michael Wuszke, Michael Cataldo, Max Frausto, Justin Saavedra, Alex 
Kokot, Cristian Juarez, juniors Oscar Tavarez, Johnathan Tavarez, 
Junior Ontiveros, Jordan Morris, Gabe Davey, Alfredo Medina, Alex 
Rodela, Juan Botello, Gabe Martinez, Jacob Schmidt, Adam Evans, 
sophomores Danny Manzo), Will Tiller, Matteus Webb, freshman Hunter 
Renner, Anthony Garatoni, Michael Baughman, Ned Morrison, Francisco 
Tavarez, Dominic Blum, Jonathan Wang, Head Coach Ben Householter, 
Assistant Coach John Jonas, Assistant Coach Matt Englert, Assistant 
Coach Alfredo Juarez, Junior Varsity Coach and Assistant Coach Alex 
Juarez, Manager Chloe Householter, Manager Jenna Householter, Athletic 
Trainer Anne Micinski, Athletic Director Steve Ravotto, Assistant 
Athletic Director Kyle Hanyzewski, and Principal Mark Kirzeder.
  The Knights' dedication and sacrifices have been proven two years in 
a row, and is a source of pride for the city, and the state of Indiana. 
Their record of success is exceptional and being a member of this team 
will be a memory these students will have for a lifetime. On behalf of 
the people of the Second Congressional District of Indiana, I applaud 
Coach Householter for building this program, I thank the student 
athletes for their determination, and I congratulate them all on an 
amazing season. It is my honor to represent Marian High School, and I 
wish continued success to the team and each of its members in their 
future endeavors.
