           CONGRATULATING WEST DE PERE PHANTOMS FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. WIED asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WIED. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and congratulate the 
West De Pere Phantoms football team for winning the WIAA Division 2 
High School State Championship.
  Following an impressive regular season and dominant performance in 
the playoffs, the West De Pere Phantoms traveled to Camp Randall 
Stadium in Madison to compete in the 2025 WIAA Division 2 State 
Football Championship.
  In a hard-fought matchup, the West De Pere team won its third State 
title in program history. The Phantoms' defense held their opponent to 
zero points in the second half, and the offense broke records on the 
way to a 28-14 victory.
  I commend the coaching staff and the entire Phantoms team for their 
hard work and dedication that led to this unforgettable season.
  I also want to give a special shoutout to the father-son duo of West 
De Pere Head Coach Chris Greisen and all-star quarterback Patrick 
Greisen, who set the Division 2 record for total passing yards in a 
championship game, an extraordinary achievement on an already memorable 
day.
  Mr. Speaker, I once again congratulate the team on this 
accomplishment, and I look forward to seeing many more championship 
wins in their future. I am proud to recognize this talented team, and I 
urge my colleagues to join me in applauding their outstanding season.
