Rec. E2209 | Congressional Record, Volume 156 Issue 172 (Tuesday, December 21, 2010) [Congressional Record Volume 156, Number 172 (Tuesday, December 21, 2010)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E2209] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING NORTH ALLEGHENY HIGH SCHOOL AS PENNSYLVANIA STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS ______ HON. JASON ALTMIRE of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 21, 2010 Mr. ALTMIRE. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize and congratulate North Allegheny High School on winning the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's (PIAA) Class AAAA title. On December 18, 2010, the North Allegheny Tigers defeated the defending state champions, the LaSalle College Explorers, to earn the 2010 championship title. LaSalle College of Philadelphia was powerless against the Tigers' outstanding running game, despite the fact that an injury kept star running back, Alex Papson, on the sideline for North Allegheny's win. Before being sidelined by a dislocated collarbone in the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) Championship, Papson rushed for more than 2,000 yards this season. He is one of only six running backs to ever run for over 4,000 career yards in WPIAL history. During the game, running back Matt Steinbeck led North Allegheny with 120 rushing yards on 20 carries, including a 27-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. In total, North Allegheny rushed for 220 yards on 44 carries, including a rushing touchdown in each of the first three quarters. With La Salle unable to score, the title game at Hershey Park Stadium ended with a score of 21-0. It was a remarkable victory for North Allegheny, as they became only the second team to win the Class AAAA title with a shutout. To complete the 2010 season, the Tigers finish up with a 15-1 record, adding a WPIAL and PIAA championship in Class AAAA to the North Allegheny trophy case. I would also like to pay tribute to Coach Art Walker, Jr. for leading his team to victory during the 20th anniversary of North Allegheny's first PIAA title. Mr. Walker has been at North Allegheny for six seasons. Before that, he spent seven seasons at Central Catholic, where he also won a PIAA Class AAAA title. It is with great pride that I recognize the school district where I live and where my daughters go to school for its tremendous accomplishment. On behalf of my family and the Fourth District of Pennsylvania, I extend our congratulations to the North Allegheny Tigers for earning the title of State Champions. ____________________ |
