                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 19, 2008

  Mr. ELLSWORTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Evansville Memorial High School boys and girls soccer teams on their 
recent historic achievement. On Saturday, November 1, 2008 the teams 
became the first to win both the boys and girls Indiana soccer 
championships in the same year.
  With their impressive 23-0-2 record, the boys' team--led by Coach 
Bill Vieth, Jr.--defended their state title by defeating the Zionsville 
Eagles 3-2, while Angie Lensing coached the girls' team to its second 
state championship, defeating Fort Wayne Snider 2-0, ending their 
season with a 22-2 record.
  The extraordinary dedication and teamwork shown by these young 
athletes is something they can be proud of long after they have left 
Memorial High School. The teams and coaching staff have demonstrated 
outstanding talent and an unwavering commitment to achieving their 
goals. They are an inspiration to me and everyone in the Evansville, 
Indiana community who have followed them throughout the years.
  Go Tigers!
