    CONGRATULATING CINCINNATI ST. XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL'S FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Cincinnati 
St. Xavier High School's football team on becoming the Division I Ohio 
State champions.
  Led by inspirational Head Coach Steve Specht, the St. X Bombers 
clinched the title by winning the State championship by a score of 44-
3, setting a record for the largest margin of victory ever in a 
Division I final.
  This impressive showing followed dramatic come-from-behind fourth-
quarter victories in both the quarterfinals and the semifinals.
  I am always proud to be a St. Xavier alumnus, and I feel especially 
proud of the 2020 Bomber team as the school earned their fourth State 
championship.
  I am especially proud because it is an understatement to say that the 
last several months have been difficult for our communities in Ohio and 
across the country. Yet, last Friday night, families, friends, 
students, and spectators, alike, were able to return to a little bit of 
normalcy--exactly why sports and teamwork are so important to the 
Nation.
  Congratulations, again, to the St. Xavier players, to Coach Steve 
Specht and his staff, and to the St. Xavier faithful.
  Go Bombers.
