              ANDERSON HIGH SCHOOL INDIANS BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. DAVID M. McINTOSH

                       Tuesday, February 3, 1998

  Mr. Mc. McINTOSH. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to 
recognize the boys' varsity basketball team of Anderson High School. 
These distinguished and courageous young men traveled to Washington 
D.C. and won an exciting game against Dematha High school in the 
Washington Classic right here in our nation's Capitol.
  The determination shown by the team is a tribute to the rich 
tradition of Hoosier basketball. The Indians demonstrated a level of 
achievement which can only be attained when individuals dedicate 
themselves to a team effort. Their awesome victory was indeed a 
remarkable performance.
  The game also had special significance for the two coaches. Both men 
have undergone successful liver transplants and the tournament raised 
awareness for this important procedure. The evening was a true 
testimony to the fact that anything is possible with a positive mental 
attitude.
  Let me join everyone involved with the team's trip and winning 
season--the fans, parents, teachers and students in saying that we are 
all very proud of you! Congratulations.

                          ____________________
