  CONGRATULATING THE PENNSYLVANIA INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the PIAA on 
seeing through a successful fall season for Pennsylvania high school 
sports in spite of the many challenges.
  We have some great sports teams in my district of Pennsylvania, and I 
would like to highlight a few.
  North Schuylkill's Spartans won a well-deserved football district 
championship at the conclusion of an undefeated season.
  Palmyra's high school girls field hockey team won a State title in 
overtime, their first in 15 years; Southern Columbia girls soccer won 
their second title in 3 years; and Bloomsburg girls soccer won their 
State title.
  Mr. Speaker, Southern Columbia's high school football program is 
nothing short of awesome. Southern Columbia, under Coach Jim Roth, won 
their 11th State title. On both sides of the ball, this team dominates, 
and the Tigers have made their citizens of Columbia County and all of 
Pennsylvania very proud.
  And congratulations to Lake Lehman football. I have known many of the 
players on this great team since they were 6 years old, playing and 
learning the game under Back Mountain Bobcats Head Coach Dan Anderson 
and other great coaches.
  Lake Lehman's coach, Jerry Gilsky, led the Black Knights to a great 
season. They came up short in the district championship game, but they 
had a season of champions, and we are proud of them.
