                       Wednesday, April 18, 2007

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Marcus 
High School men's soccer team for winning the University 
Interscholastic League (UIL) 5A Soccer State Championship.
  The Marcus Marauders defeated Plano West Senior High School to win 
the school's first men's soccer state championship. Glen Marshall 
scored a goal to send the game into overtime, as time was about to 
expire. After two scoreless overtime periods, a winner would be decided 
by a shootout. Eric Frazier, Jon McMullen, and Sam Garza scored in the 
shootout for the Marauders, and goalkeeper, Matt Chidsey, blocked three 
of PIano West's shots to win the championship. Andres Angulo was named 
the game's most valuable player. Angulo assisted on both of the 
Marauders' goals.
  The Marauders finished their season with a perfect record of 30-0, 
outscoring their opponents 114-17. In the process, they recorded a 
school record 16 shutouts. The team is coached by John Gall.
  I would like to offer my sincerest congratulations to the Marcus 
soccer team, Coach Gall, the parents, and all of Marcus High School for 
this great achievement. I wish them continued success in the future, 
and I am very proud to represent them in the 26th District of Texas.
