                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 17, 2008

  Mr. BONNER of Alabama. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and 
pleasure that I rise to honor Leroy High School on their 2007 2A 
Alabama State Football Championship.
  Head coach Danny Powell led the Bears to their second straight Class 
2A state football championship. The title is the third for Leroy in 
past four seasons and the third for Coach Powell in the last two years. 
Like Coach Powell, I am so proud of his players, and I know they worked 
hard for this great accomplishment.
  The Leroy Bears proved they are a team of champions in their victory 
on December 7, 2007, at Legion Field in Birmingham. They defeated Fyffe 
High School in a thrilling fourth quarter comeback to win the state 
crown.
  Both teams had strong support from their families and fans. They 
traveled to Birmingham to support and cheer on their team. The fan 
support is a strong symbol of encouragement.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Leroy 
High School on their winning season and state championship. This school 
deserves public recognition for this great accomplishment.
  I extend my congratulations to each member of the team and coaching 
staff:
