On the recordFebruary 12, 2003
on the blustery, frigid evening of November 30, 2002, the Elder High School football team made their championship dreams a reality. The Elder Panthers overcame the weather, a 4-hour bus ride, and a spirited Warren Harding team to return the Ohio State football championship to Cincinnati for the first time since Princeton High School won in 1987. Thousands of Elder faithful flocked to Fawcett Stadium to urge the Panthers to victory. Those who could not make the cross-State trip sat glued to their TVs, hanging onto every play. From the opening kickoff to the game-saving defensive stand, fans were thrilled by the championship effort and heart displayed by the young men from Elder. Mr. Speaker, Elder's hard-fought and inspiring victory has brought pride and honor to Price Hill, and to our entire community. Football fans throughout the Cincinnati area congratulate the Panthers and share in their celebration. As a former LaSalle Lancer myself, let me conclude by saying, Go Panthers.
