        RECOGNITION OF THE GLENWOOD HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 9, 2005

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding group of young men from Central Illinois. The Glenwood High 
School boys soccer team from Chatham, illinois, won the Class AA state 
championship on November 5, with a 2-1 win over Rockford Boylan. This 
win followed a thrilling, double-overtime semifinal win, and continues 
a 19-game winning streak for the Titans, who finished the year with a 
record of 26-1.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Head Coach Jay Lipe, who also 
achieved his 100th career victory this season, and assistant coaches 
Greg Lipe, Tom Johnson and B.J. Moore on a truly outstanding season. 
Most of all, I want to recognize the members of the 2005 state champion 
Chatham Glenwood Titans soccer team: Brandon Lex, Trevor Noonan, Tim 
Johnson, James Dice, Jaron Stretch, Neil Wilmarth, Ryan South, Paul 
Hummel, Derek Schilson, Bryan Curry, Blair Spencer, Hunter Schad, 
Dennis McIlhaney, Blake Vorreyer, Dan Short, Brett Dickson, Paul South, 
Dominick Traina, Kevin Hopkins, Bobak Hadidi, Trevor Kohlrus and Dustin 
Curtis.
  These young men did an exceptional job of representing themselves, 
their school and their community, and I wish them best of luck in all 
of their future endeavors.
