                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 13, 2012

  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, as a proud graduate of Archbishop Moeller 
High School in Cincinnati, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
the Crusaders on their recent Ohio State Football Championship.
  It is my pleasure to report that on December 1, 2012, the Crusaders 
won the OHSAA Division I state football championship, defeating Toledo 
Whitmer High School 20-12. This is Moeller High School's eighth Ohio 
football championship in the school's storied history.
  Under the guidance of Coach John Rodenberg, the 2012 Crusader 
football team ended its season with a record of 12-3.
  As a Crusader from the class of 1968, I congratulate Coach Rodenberg, 
Athletic Director Barry Borman, Principal Blane Collison, President 
Bill Hunt, and all the faculty, students, and alumni of the Moeller 
Family on this tremendous achievement. This victory honors the entire 
school community and extends the winning tradition of Moeller Football 
that began decades ago under my friend, coach, and mentor, Gerry Faust.
  Moeller High School has provided a center of learning in the finest 
Marianist tradition for generations of young men from my congressional 
district and the Greater Cincinnati area. A Catholic school, Moeller 
has established a reputation for excellence in academics, athletics, 
faith, and community service, a reputation that is renewed and 
reinforced by this latest achievement.
  On behalf of the United States House of Representatives, I proudly 
salute Coach Rodenberg, the 2012 Crusader football team, the Men of 
Moeller and the entire Moeller Family for this memorable victory.

                          ____________________
