                  RECOGNIZING THE WEBB CITY CARDINALS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILLY LONG

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 11, 2014

  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Webb City 
football team for winning their fifth straight state football 
championship.
  The Webb City Cardinals clenched their fifth consecutive state title 
by defeating the Cape Central Tigers 48-21. Through their hard work and 
excellence on and off the field, the Cardinals have developed into a 
truly great championship team.
  I also want to commend Head Coach John Roderique for a job well-done 
on developing such a strong football program. In his 18 years of 
coaching the Cardinals, his teams have won ten of the school's 13 state 
titles.
  The Webb City community is rightly proud of this astonishing group of 
young and talented student-athletes. I urge my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Webb City Cardinals as they celebrate their fifth 
consecutive State Championship.
