          CONGRATULATIONS TO MIDLAND HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. DAVE CAMP

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 19, 2007

  Mr. CAMP of Michigan. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate and 
pay tribute to the Midland High School football team for reaching the 
Michigan High School Athletic Association 2007 Division Two State 
Championship game. This was the team's third trip to the state finals 
since 1990.
  The Midland Chemics led most of the hard-fought final game against 
Detroit Martin Luther King High School. However, King took the lead in 
the fourth quarter and held off Midland. The game marked the end of a 
successful season, in which the Chemics finished with an 11-3 record.
  A week earlier it was Midland who pulled off the impressive come-
from-behind victory, defeating Lowell High School. They scored 24 
unanswered points in the second half to win 31-27 and earn their spot 
in the title game. In the playoffs they also defeated Davison, Bay City 
Central, and Arthur Hill en route to the finals.
  The accomplishments of these student athletes are a testament to the 
years of hard work and dedication leading up to their playoff run. I 
commend them on a successful season.
  On behalf of the 4th Congressional District of Michigan, I 
congratulate the Midland High School Football team on their 
achievements and wish them all the best of luck in their future 
endeavors.
