          CONGRATULATING THE McCOMB HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. LATTA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the McComb High 
School football team for winning the Ohio State Division VII 
Championship. The Panthers won their second title in school history 
with a 28-3 victory over Glouster Trimble.
  McComb showed great fortitude in reeling off eight straight wins on 
their way to the title. Including freshmen, the Panthers dressed 27 
players, about half the number of most of their opponents.
  The Panthers' success can be tied to their stout defense which didn't 
surrender a single touchdown in the championship game. These student 
athletes gave it their all and had the backing of the entire school 
district. They exemplified the best of Ohio small-town football.
  I know what the title means to McComb, as my dad played for McComb in 
the late 1930s. It is great to see the fans rally around these players.
  Once again, congratulations to Coach Kris Alge and the rest of the 
McComb High School football team on a job well done.
