         CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TRINIDAD TROJANS FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETE SESSIONS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 1999

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today in 
recognition of a group of young athletes from the Fifth Congressional 
District for an outstanding year in athletic achievement. On Saturday, 
December 12, 1998, the Trinidad Trojans became the first Henderson 
County high school football team to gain a state football championship 
in any division, by winning the six-man state championship game. This 
team of exceptional young athletes displayed the determination and 
tenacity required to achieve a perfect season by finishing the year 
with an unblemished record of 15-0.
  I would also like to recognize the Trojans' Coach, Kevin Ray for 
guiding these young men through training, practice and each test they 
met on the gridiron. The lessons that we learn from our High School 
Coaches apply throughout our lives and will resonate with Coach Ray's 
players for years to come. Thank you Coach Ray for your leadership and 
for preparing these players to achieve such monumental goals. I wish 
you luck in the 1999 season and Godspeed to your graduating seniors. 
Way to go Trojans!
