                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 21, 2011

  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the 
outstanding achievement of the Liberty Lady Jays Varsity Soccer team on 
defeating Ursuline Academy, by a score of 2-1, to win the Class 3 State 
Championship for the second straight season.
  The Lady Jays finished their incredible season by posting a strong 
record of 27-3, while scoring a total of 147 points and only allowing 
29 points. In the Championship game, they finished spectacularly by 
scoring the winning goal with one second left on the clock of the first 
overtime period. The dedication and teamwork displayed by the Lady Jays 
is impressive and evident in their success.
  I want to recognize the great leadership of the team, including Head 
Coach Tom Rottjakob and the work of his assistant coaches. I also want 
to recognize the work of the school administrators, Superintendent Mike 
Brewer, Principal April Adams, and Athletic Director Jason Cahill, as 
additional keys to success.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me in congratulating the achievement 
of the Liberty Lady Jays Varsity Soccer Team on winning their second 
consecutive State Championship. It is an honor to represent this team 
in Congress.
