             CONGRATULATING RANDOLPH HIGH SCHOOL CARDINALS

  (Mr. REED asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Randolph High 
School Cardinals on their victory in the New York State Class D title 
game on November 23, 2012, at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, New York. 
Led by Head Coach Pat Slater and the game's Most Valuable Player, Cody 
Oldro, the Cardinals won 28-7. It is with no small amount of pride that 
we recognize all of the players, cheerleaders, coaches, advisers, 
administrators, and, most importantly, the parents and the kids for 
their achievements and congratulate them on their third State 
championship since 2005.
  The 2012 New York State Class D title game was also Coach Slater's 
final game as head coach of the Cardinals, capping a 33-year career at 
the helm. His teams earned three State titles, eight Section Six 
championships, and a career record of 213 wins and 99 losses. Today, we 
honor Coach Slater for the positive impact he has had on the young 
people at Randolph for so many years.
