            CONGRATULATING THE YERINGTON LIONS FOOTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Yerington Lions 
football team on their 42-19 win over Mountain View Christian for the 
Division III Nevada State title.
  They were undefeated throughout the season, finishing 11-0. So this 
wasn't just one title game; it was a year of proving that they are 
really the best. And it is not just any State title for this school; 
this is the first State title since 1981. And they have the support of 
everyone in town. The whole community was out for the game, wearing 
their team colors of purple and white.
  Interesting to note, on average, the Yerington Lions gave up less 
than 5.6 points per game, average. That is lower than Congress' 
approval rating. That is pretty impressive, don't you think?
  Yerington is an important part of my 51,000-square-mile district. So 
I want to say congratulations to the students, congratulations to Coach 
Cody Neville, and congratulations to Yerington. You make Nevada proud.
