  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the girls 
soccer team at The Colony High School on winning the class 4A Girls 
Soccer State Championship.
  The Cougars of The Colony High School defeated Friendship High School 
by a score of 1-0 to win the class 4A Girls Soccer State Championship 
on Saturday, April 14, 2007. Junior midfielder Amanda Fancher scored 
the winning goal on a 22-yard free kick near the end of the first half. 
Amanda was also named the championship game's most valuable player.
  The Colony finished the season with a record of 23-3-4, including 
shutouts in 11 of their final 12 games. The team has also beaten every 
soccer record ever set by the school.
  I would like to offer my sincerest congratulations to coach Nicole 
Jund, the team, the parents and all students of The Colony High School 
for their great achievement. I wish them success in the future, and I 
am very proud to have them in the 26th District of Texas.
