         CELEBRATING THE BEDFORD HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER TEAM

  (Mr. SHUSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the achievements 
of the Bedford High School girls soccer team of Bedford, Pennsylvania.
  The Lady Bisons capped off an unbeaten season by bringing home the 
PIAA Class AA State championship on Saturday, November 17.
  This is a monumental accomplishment for the school. It is Bedford 
High School's first State championship in any sport. It is the first 
school from District 5 or 6 to win a State championship in their 
history.
  The Lady Bisons defeated the Lewisburg Green Dragons in overtime 1-0, 
finishing their season with a perfect record of 22-0.
  The Lady Bisons, coached by Jeff Thomas, were led to victory by their 
five seniors--Jenna Brown, Bailey Donaldson, Brooke Lankey, Hallie 
Sisk, and Amber Thomas--who scored the winning goal on a penalty kick 
just 52 seconds into overtime at Hersheypark Stadium.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate the players, the coaches, 
and the families of the Bedford High School girls soccer team on their 
Pennsylvania State championship.
  The passion, commitment, and teamwork shown by these young women will 
surely follow them in their future endeavors as well as inspire the 
Bedford community for years to come.
