          RECOGNIZING THE WEEDSPORT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. SHERWOOD BOEHLERT

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, December 6, 2004

  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Weedsport 
High School football team for their outstanding achievements and 
victory in the New York State Class D Championships.
  The No. l ranked Weedsport Warriors finished their season undefeated, 
with an impressive 13-0 record. Setting another milestone, this is also 
the first state championship in school history to be awarded to any 
team sport.
  Their 22-21 victory over the Tuckahoe Tigers was an amazing feat. 
After the Tuckahoe Tigers claimed the lead during the 4th quarter, the 
Warriors were able to narrow that lead on a heroic 83-yard kickoff 
return by senior Brad Bach. Trailing 21-20, the Warriors opted to 
attempt a crucial two-point conversion that would give them the lead, 
thanks to the speed and agility of junior quarterback Mike Coolbaugh. 
The Weedsport Warriors spent the remainder of the game maintaining an 
impregnable defense and refusing to buckle under the pressure of the 
determined Tuckahoe offense.
  I commend the coaching staff and the players of the Weedsport 
Warriors for all of their training and dedication to the game. 
Congratulations; I am proud of all of you and your achievements.
  The 2004 Weedsport High School football team members include: Roster: 
Brad Bach, Brandon Bach, Jeff Bibbens, Mike Bond, Robert Bradtke, Mike 
Case, Chris Chorny, Mike Coolbaugh, Mike Davis, Matt Drury, Matt Duby, 
Kerry Green, Brandon Magill, Mike Maltese, Ken McLoud, John Meitz, Troy 
Nelson, Tyler Nevidomsky, Jeff Whiting, Dave Roden, Ed Rooker, Jim 
Scarbrough, Adam Sweet, Jeff Whiting, Jeff Williams, and Ryan Wright. 
Coach: Calvin Mosher. Assistant Coaches: Tim Spingler, Jason Trousdale.
