             TRIBUTE TO CARBONDALE TERRIERS BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______


                         HON. JERRY F. COSTELLO

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to bring to my colleagues' 
attention the outstanding efforts of the Carbondale Terriers basketball 
team from Carbondale, IL, High School during the recent Illinois AA 
State basketball championships.
  Victory was close for the Terriers as a last-second shot ran around 
the rim and out again, a shot that came at the end of a hard-fought 61-
60 contest with Peoria Manual. A second-place finish in no way lessens 
the significance of their fantastic season, and Coach Tim Bleyer and 
the entire Carbondale team is to be congratulated for their string of 
victories.
  As much as the Nation focuses on college basketball and the NCAA 
tournament, they may be forgetting that some of the best games are in 
the high school championships. Certainly, the Carbondale Terriers 
proved that on May 19 during the championship game. I ask my colleagues 
to join me in congratulating the Terriers for their outstanding season.

                          ____________________
