   CONGRATULATING KALAMA HIGH SCHOOL'S FOOTBALL TEAM ON WINNING THE 
                    WASHINGTON STATE 2B CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate the Kalama High School football team for winning the 
Washington state 2B championship. After trailing for most of the game, 
the Chinooks managed to take the lead over rival Napavine in the 
closing minutes for an exciting win to complete their undefeated 
season. The COVID-19 pandemic limited many of our high school athletes 
from competing during the 2020 season, yet these individuals persevered 
and demonstrated adaptability and competitiveness. For the Chinooks, 
that perseverance paid off in a big way.
  Competing in prep sports is a wonderful opportunity to learn lessons 
in discipline, focus, team play, work ethic, and comradery. Winning a 
state title is a momentous achievement these boys can be proud of for 
the rest of their lives, and I have confidence they will find success 
using the lessons they learned while competing in football. Go 
Chinooks.
