                       Tuesday, November 15, 2011

  Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize this year's 
Minnesota AA High School Boys Soccer Champions, the Eden Prairie 
Eagles. Aside from having one of the best academic programs in 
Minnesota, the Eden Prairie School District is now home to boys state 
soccer champions for the second time since 2002.
  Despite going up against an undefeated team, the Eagles struck early, 
scoring their first goal in the fourth minute of the championship game. 
The Eden Prairie Eagles kept up the pressure, and were relentless on 
offense, putting up 14 shots on goal and winning the game 3-1.
  Congratulations to the whole team on an incredible season, I'm sure 
you will all look back proudly on your accomplishments in the years to 
come. Congratulations also to coach Vince Thomas for his leadership on 
and off the field.
  Go Eagles!
