Section 44
 What's this? The Congressional Record is the official journal of Congress's daily proceedings. Though often a transcript of the debates on the House and Senate floors, like C-SPAN transcripts, the Congressional Record can be significantly modified by Members of Congress after the fact. Entries in the Congressional Record can reflect the edited, prepared versions of statements actually made on the floor, and on very rare occasions can contain seeming entire debates between Members of Congress that never took place. Only floor proceedings are a part of the Record, and so committee meetings are not available this way. |

CONGRATULATING THE MOORESTOWN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS LACROSSE TEAM -- (House of Representatives - June 11, 2009)<p><center><pre>[Page: H6594]
(Mr. ADLER of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Rep. John Adler [D-NJ3]:
Mr. Speaker, on behalf of all Burlington County residents, I rise today to congratulate the Moorestown High School girls' lacrosse team for winning their 10th straight New Jersey State Championship.
As a father of four boys, I understand the importance of having sports and extracurricular activities in a young person's life. It encourages teamwork, a sense of pride and accomplishment, and responsibility. The Moorestown High School girls lacrosse team embodies all those attributes.
Led by senior captains Karli Tobin and Alyssa Ogle, Moorestown High School beat Mountain Lakes High School 11-8. Junior Katrina Martinelli led the team in scoring with four goals and two assists, while Alyssa Ogle scored three goals, including the game winner.
Head coach Deanna Knobloch has been with the team for 18 years. Winning 10 straight championships is no easy task, and I applaud her and her assistants, KC Knobloch, Julie Catrambone, and Courtney Legath. This championship marks the 210th win over New Jersey opponents over a full 10 seasons.
Moorestown moves within one State title of tying the longest State championship winning streak. Again, congratulations to Moorestown High School girls lacrosse team, especially those seniors. I look forward to seeing you break that record.
Go Quakers.
