RECOGNIZING TWO ILLINOIS STATE CHAMPION FOOTBALL TEAMS

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 185 (Thursday, December 12, 2024)] [House] [Page H7116] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING TWO ILLINOIS STATE CHAMPION FOOTBALL TEAMS (Ms. BUDZINSKI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Ms. BUDZINSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize two State champion football teams in my district, the East St. Louis Flyers and the Belleville Althoff Crusaders. Under Coach Darren Sunkett's leadership, the Flyers went 13-1 this season, winning their 11th State championship on November 28 with a 48- 28 victory over Geneva. I also congratulate the Crusaders football team for winning the 2024 1A Illinois State championship and running back Dierre Hill, Jr., on being named the 2024 Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year. What an incredible accomplishment. I know that each and every player, coach, and staffer put in hours of practice and preparation to help the Flyers and the Crusaders achieve their goals on and off the field this season. Your dedication to the game of football and our local community is an inspiration. ____________________
