             BOLINGBROOK HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mrs. BIGGERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BIGGERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Illinois 
Bolingbrook High School football team on winning the Class 8A State 
Championship on November 25.
  Coach John Ivlow led the team to a record-breaking season of 13 wins 
and 1 loss. This accomplishment by the Raiders marks the first State 
football championship for Bolingbrook High School. Despite the absence 
of their star linebacker, the Raiders overcame five turnovers and won 
the championship game by a score of 21-17 against the top-rated Loyola 
Academy.
  Each player this season demonstrated a tremendous level of 
demonstration and hard work, including seniors Antonio Morrison and 
Robbie Bain. Other stars of the game included junior Aaron Bailey, who 
scored the game-winning touchdown, and senior Diaron Rhodes, who sealed 
the game with an interception.
  Mr. Speaker, our community is very proud of these accomplished young 
athletes. Once again, I would like to congratulate the Bolingbrook High 
School Raiders on their win and wish them continued success in all of 
their future endeavors.
