                       HONORING TRINITY SHAMROCKS

  (Mr. YARMUTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, with an average margin of victory of more 
than 40 points, an undefeated season, and a win in the State 
championship that Sports Illustrated called the team's ``finest 
offensive performance of the year,'' there can be no more debate: 
Trinity High School Shamrocks is the best high school football team in 
the country.
  Friday's 62-21 victory over Scott County in the 6A final completed a 
25-game win streak, secured a second straight State title, and capped a 
season in which Trinity didn't just beat the competition, they rocked 
them.
  Over five playoff games, Trinity outscored its foes by more than 240 
total points. They never trailed in the second half all season. They 
crushed top-tier out-of-state competition and avenged their only 2010 
loss. After facing Trinity, Scott County's coach called the Shamrocks 
``the best team in Kentucky football history.''
  This was a true team effort, and thanks to the leadership and 
dedication of 40 seniors, these student athletes have achieved a 
perfect record and deserve to bring a national title home to 
Louisville. I ask my colleagues to join me today in congratulating 
Coach Beatty, the team, and the entire Trinity community on an 
incredible championship and an amazing 2011 season. Way to go Rocks.
