                       Monday, December 19, 2011

  Mr. KEATING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Bourne High 
School Canalmen in my district who represented their communities in the 
Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association's (MIAA) annual 
Super Bowls. The teams from Bourne High School, Dennis-Yarmouth 
Regional High School, Duxbury High School, Mashpee High School, and 
Nantucket High School won five of the nine Super Bowls across the 
state, demonstrating a true commitment to excellence in Massachusetts' 
10th

District. Since 1978 when the MIAA first regulated athletic events in 
the Commonwealth, these tournaments have highlighted the dedication and 
discipline of our state's high school football teams, and the five 
teams from the 10th Congressional District, who won their division 
Super Bowls, are wonderful examples of the best of high school sports.
  I am certain that the student-athletes on Bourne's high school 
football team will take the valuable lesson of teamwork they have 
learned and translate it into many successes in the future. This is a 
tremendous achievement for the school, coaches and players, and I 
congratulate them on making everyone in their communities, including 
myself, proud.
  I would like to take a moment to now recognize each of the
