         PUEBLO SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP TRIBUTE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTT R. TIPTON

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 15, 2018

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Pueblo 
South High School Colts for winning the Colorado High School State 
Football Championship.
  The Colts' thrilling 25 to 15 victory over the Pine Creek High School 
Eagles, the defending state champion, is the first time in the history 
of the program that the Pueblo South High School football team won a 
state championship title.
  Further cementing Pueblo as the state's High School Football 
powerhouse, 2017 marked the fourth year in a row that a team from 
Pueblo claimed a state championship. East High School in Pueblo won the 
previous three Class 3A state championships and Pueblo Centennial High 
School won 25 years prior. This was also the first 4A state title for 
Pueblo since Pueblo West won in 2007. The city has a long history of 
athletic excellence and I am proud to see the Colts join the ranks of 
their fellow competitors.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to offer my sincere congratulations to the 
Pueblo South High School football team for their great accomplishment. 
For many of the teams' players, this win is the achievement of a goal 
they have worked hard towards for years. I commend their coaches and 
each member of the team for their sportsmanship and competitive spirit. 
I look forward to watching them succeed as they continue their bright 
academic and athletic careers.
