       RECOGNIZING THE RIVERDALE RAMS' GOLF TEAM FOR THEIR STATE 
                           CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                  in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 14, 2017

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor The Riverdale Rams' 
Golf Team for winning the state championship in the Class 1A 
tournament.
  Riverdale won by six shots over Hillsboro. The boys played through 
gusty winds and occasional rain showers and witnessed their lead slip 
to a mere two shots, but held strong to pull out a victory. This title 
makes school history, both as the Rams' first-ever golf title and 
first-ever state team title. I congratulate the Rams on their 
outstanding victory in their Class 1A win--a testament to the 
impressive leadership provided by Coach Trent Groves and teammates 
Tyler Bussert and Anthony Ruthey.
  Mr. Speaker, as a former athlete, I understand how important this is 
to the young men, the coaches and the community. Their efforts and 
resilience should inspire us all.
