                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, January 4, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the superior 
performance of the Nolan Catholic High School football team, The 
Vikings, on their State Championship for Texas Association of Private 
and Parochial Schools Division 1 6A.
  The Vikings shut out Houston St. Pius X high school for the 
championship with a 14-0 score at Floyd Casey Stadium, Baylor 
University, in Waco, TX, on Saturday November 27, 2004. The 
championship victory marked the 8th time this season the Vikings shut 
out their opponent. This is the first trip to the state final in nine 
years for the Vikings, who have never won a State crown.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Brother Richard Thompson, 
S.M., principal of Nolan Catholic High School, the coaches and 
especially to the team for their talent and dedication to excellence.

                          ____________________
