[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 154 (2008), Part 10] [House] [Pages 13941-13942] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]CONGRATULATING PLANO WOLVES (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate the new high school baseball national championship team. It is from Plano West Senior High School. They are called the Wolves. Go Wolves. Maxpreps.com ranked the Texas State champs, the Plano West Senior High School varsity baseball team, number one in the Nation on June 22. Under head coach Kendall Clark, this year the Wolves played a perfect season, won the district title with 14 wins and won 28 straight in 2008. This is the first time since 1987 that Plano Independent School District has had a team crowned national champions, and this year marks the first time a baseball team in Plano has captured the prestigious national title. Congratulations to the Wolves. We are proud of you. Your parents are proud of you, Plano is proud of you, and America is proud of you. I salute you. God bless you, God bless America. I include the names of the players and coaches in the Record, and congratulate them one and all.
