  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Red Bank 
Catholic Women's Basketball Team for winning the New Jersey State High 
School Basketball Championship.
  Back in the Sixth Congressional District, these young women have 
provided their fans and myself with much excitement and sense of pride. 
From reaching the finals of the Shore Conference Tournament to winning 
the State Championship at the Meadowlands, Red Bank Catholic has 
demonstrated its commitment to excellence.
  Throughout the year, Red Bank Catholic has stressed the importance of 
team unity as a major component of victory. This approach to the 
season, in addition to its dedication and hard work, provided the team 
with the necessary drive to become the best high school basketball team 
in the State of New Jersey.
  In addition to the athletic abilities possessed by this team, the 
players of Red Bank Catholic

must be saluted for their academic excellence. On and off the court, 
these student athletes have maintained athletic prowess and academic 
integrity in light of intense pressure.
  Once again I would like to salute these young women for capturing the 
high school basketball championship and wish them the best of luck in 
their future endeavors.
