             PA-17 WPIAL CHAMPS HEAD TO PIAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

  (Mr. DELUZIO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DELUZIO. Mr. Speaker, plenty of my colleagues claim to have the 
best high school football. Of course, they will be wrong because 
western Pennsylvania is second to none.
  When Jack Lambert took his place in the Hall of Fame, he called folks 
in western Pennsylvania a proud, hardworking people who love their 
football and their players.
  It was true then, and it is true today.
  It doesn't matter if we are cheering for the Steelers or for WPIAL 
contenders under the Friday night lights. On any field, football is 
serious business in western Pennsylvania.
  I congratulate the WPIAL champions from my district for bringing home 
the hardware: Beaver Falls, North Allegheny, and Aliquippa High 
Schools.
  A special congratulations to the Quips on their record 20th WPIAL 
title victory.
  Good luck this weekend to all the teams battling it out for the State 
playoffs and for the State title.
