the Clairton Bears on a stellar high school football season.
  For the first time in their school's history, the Bears reached the 
State championship game. This accomplishment topped an undefeated 
regular season and a WPIAL title.
  These great accomplishments were the result of fantastic coaching and 
consistently outstanding performances by the team's staff and players.
  The staff consisted of head coach Tom Nola and assistant coaches Mike 
LeDonne, Demonje Rosser, Remondo Williams, Tim Borkowski, John DeMarco, 
Tony St. Angelo, Tony Ferrare, and Wayne Wade.
  The players consisted of 9 seniors--Malcolm Ford, Troy Webb, Andrew 
Currington, CJ Hammonds, Kailon Lyons, Eyan Johnson, Lance Meade, David 
Spence, and Taylor Wright as well as underclassmen Kevin Weatherspoon, 
Deontae Howard, Josh Page, Brandon Small, Eddie Ball, Remondo Williams, 
Desimon Green, Trenton Coles, Julian McLean, Bishop Neal, Geron 
Johnson, Devante Dockery, Kevin Poindexter, Devante Gardlock, Marcus 
Nash, Antwon Thompson, Brian Boyd, Carvan Thompson, Donzel Daniels, 
Chanze James, Keith Craven, Devonte Doss, Marquis Norris, Shawn Thomas, 
Ezekial Williams, and Wesley Sutton. The hard work, dedication, and 
teamwork these young men displayed throughout the season produced a 
once in a lifetime opportunity for the graduating seniors to play in 
the big game before leaving their high school.
  Pittsburgh once again has lived up to its name as the ``City of 
Champions'' producing a great team like the Clairton Bears. I wish the 
Bears and their program success in the seasons to follow and 
congratulate them once again on a fantastic season.
